    The Story Behind Nisan

    The name Nisan has multiple origins and meanings. In Hebrew, Nisan is the name of the first month of the ecclesiastical year and the seventh month of the civil year in the Hebrew calendar, corresponding to March–April. It is associated with spring and new beginnings, and is also linked to the word 'nes' meaning 'miracle'.
