Adar
to Addar
Proper name with the primary sense of 'Addar,' functioning either as a placename or a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. The word is used as a toponym referring to a specific location in the southern territory settled by Israelite tribes, and as an anthroponym designating an individual of Israelite descent. The underlying sense may connote 'majestic' or 'grand,' but in usage, the term functions strictly as a name rather than a descriptive term.
