The author of [[I Kings]] says very little of Nadab's early life, beyond identifying his father, [[Jeroboam I]]. He might have been named after an earlier [[Nadab]], eldest son of [[Aaron]]. If so, then that naming was most ominous indeed, for the earlier Nadab died after kindling the anger of [[God]] against him by worshiping God improperly.
