==Etymology== The name "Aminadav" is a combination of two Hebrew words; "Ami"- my nation, and "Nadav"- generous, giving, or volunteering; thus Aminadav translates "a generous people" and the moshav is named after the biblical figure Aminadav, who, according to the Book of Ruth (4: 18–22), was one of King David's ancestors. His son, Nahshon, is considered by tradition in the Talmudic tractate Sotah (36:2-37:1) to be the first person who agreed to cross the Red Sea after the Exodus from Egypt.
