Avener
and Abner
Proper name designating an individual; Abner, a prominent Israelite military commander, specifically the cousin of Saul and commander of the army of Israel during Saul's reign. The meaning is based on Hebrew elements 'father' and 'lamp' (or 'light'), suggesting 'my father is a lamp' or 'the father is a lamp/luminary.' The term functions strictly as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible and does not function generically as a title, office, or descriptive noun.
