אֲחִיעֶ֖זֶר
𐤀𐤇𐤉𐤏𐤆𐤓
Achiezer
Ahiezer
A personal name meaning 'my brother is help' or 'the brother of help.' Used in the Hebrew Bible to designate at least two individuals: a leader of the tribe of Dan during the wilderness period, and a Benjaminite who supported David. The name expresses reliance on, or the supportive nature of, a 'brother,' which may be interpreted as a literal sibling, a clan-kin, or, in some cases, may refer to Deity as 'brother' in theophoric sense, though this is less likely given standard Hebrew naming conventions.

My Brother Is Help
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper name; compound of אָח with 1cs pronominal suffix (אֲחִי, "my brother") + עֵזֶר ("help"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The name combines אָח (brother) with a first-person singular suffix ("my brother") and עֵזֶר (help), forming a declarative compound meaning "my brother is help." This preserves both the possessive morphology and the core root meanings. |
