Eber
Proper name designating two early post-diluvian ancestors (descendants of Shem), as well as other individuals in later genealogies; also potentially used in a wider sense to indicate 'the region beyond' or 'across,' relating to geography. The primary lexical meaning when used as a proper name is 'Eber,' but fundamentally the term is derived from a root conveying the idea of 'the other side, region across.'
