Berean Strong's Lexicon Achishar: Achishar Original Word: אֲחִישָׁר Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew roots אָח ('ach, meaning "brother") and יָשָׁר (yashar, meaning "upright" or "straight"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the name Achishar, as it is a unique Hebrew proper noun. However, the concept of "uprightness" can be related to Greek terms like δίκαιος (dikaios, meaning "righteous" or "just"). Usage: Achishar is a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, meaning "my brother is upright" or "brother of uprightness." It is used to identify a specific individual in the court of King Solomon. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of ancient Israel, names often held significant meaning and were reflective of familial or personal attributes. Achishar served in the royal administration during the reign of King Solomon, a period marked by prosperity, extensive building projects, and the establishment of a centralized government. This era is often seen as the height of Israel's united monarchy, characterized by wisdom, wealth, and international influence.
