Core Meaningsto say, to speak, to utter, to declare
Semantic RangePersonal name meaning “speaker” or “sayer,” borne by several Israelites, including priestly figures and family heads.
Conceptual SignificanceAs a priestly family name in post-exilic and temple contexts, אִמֵּר links the idea of speaking or declaring with priestly service, where proclamation of Torah and liturgical utterance were central.
Morphological NotesMasculine singular proper noun (HNp); personal name; no pronominal suffix or inflectional variation in the cited forms.
Rendering RationaleThe proper name אִמֵּר derives from the root אמר (“to say, speak”). Rendering it as “Sayer” preserves the verbal idea embedded in the name while reflecting its masculine singular proper noun form (HNp).
