Ben Deqer
son of
Ben-Deqer is a personal name meaning 'son of Deqer,' a patronymic construction indicating descent from a father named Deqer. The name does not appear to express a descriptive quality of the son himself but rather identifies lineage. The underlying sense derives from combining the noun for 'son' (ben) and the personal or titular name Deqer, whose origin connects with the root for 'to pierce.'

son
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common, masculine singular, absolute state. |
