Ater
Proper name designating several Israelites in biblical genealogies; transliterated as 'Ater' in English Bibles. The term itself functions solely as a personal name and is not used as a common noun or adjective in the Hebrew Bible. The underlying root suggests the sense of 'lame' or 'maimed,' but this meaning does not attach to the individuals named Ater—rather, the name may reflect a family or ancestral nickname, physical characteristic, or commemorative designation.
