Genesis 38:4
"And she conceived again, and bare a son; and she called his name Onan."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And she conceived again, and bare a son,.... As soon as she well could: and she called his name Onan; the first son Judah gave the name to, but his

wife named this, so called from grief or sorrow; the reason of it, according to the above Targum, was,"because his father would mourn for him;''he was a Benoni, see Gen 35:18 , whose sin and immature death caused sorrow.
