Means
"no glory" in Hebrew, from
אִי ('i) meaning "not" and
כָּבוֹד (kavod) meaning "glory". In the
Old Testament this is the grandson of
Eli and the son of
Phinehas. He was named this because his mother despaired that "the glory has departed from Israel" (
1 Samuel 4:21).
This name was used by Washington Irving for Ichabod Crane, the main character in his short story The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (1820).
