צוּעָֽר
𐤑𐤅𐤏𐤓
Tsuar
Zuar
Proper name designating an individual of Israelite lineage, specifically Tsûwʻâr, identified as a chief of the tribe of Issachar in the wilderness accounts. The name itself derives from a root connoting smallness or insignificance, but for this individual, it functions as a patronymic without evaluative semantic application. The lexical sense is strictly that of a personal name, not employed generically for 'small' in any narrative context.
