Semantic Range

proper name (male), used only as a personal name in genealogical records

Root / Etymology

Derived from the Hebrew root עשה (ʿšh, 'to do, make, perform'), possibly with an obscure ending. The etymology is uncertain, and the precise meaning or significance of the name is not clear.

Historical & Contextual Notes

עַשְׁוָת (Ashvath) appears exclusively in 1 Chronicles 4:22 among a list of descendants associated with Judahite genealogies in the post-exilic period. The historical context is genealogical; the name does not reappear elsewhere in Biblical or extra-biblical texts. Some suggest a possible connection to the root עשה ('to do') or to a term meaning 'bright,' but these are speculative and not directly attested. Standard translations leave the name transliterated, and English versions do not attempt interpretation of its meaning. The use of the term 'Israelite' for Ashvath refers specifically to his descent from the larger Israelite genealogical tradition, but within the text, he is listed as a Judahite.

Original Strong's Gloss (1890)

for עָשׁוֹת; bright; Ashvath, an Israelite; Ashvath.
