Asa
Asa—personal name borne by two notable figures in the Hebrew Bible: (1) a king of the southern kingdom of Judah (reigned c. 911–870 BCE), and (2) a member of the Levite temple singers listed in the time of Ezra. Asa as a personal name is not clearly linked to a specific Hebrew root, and its literal meaning remains uncertain. The name functions primarily as an individual identifier in biblical texts rather than bearing an overt lexical meaning.
