Strong's Lexicon Eri: Eri Original Word: עֵרִי Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root אֵר (er), meaning "watchful" or "vigilant." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Eri, as it is a specific Hebrew personal name. However, the concept of vigilance or watchfulness can be related to Greek terms like γρηγορέω (gregoreó - Strong's Greek 1127), meaning "to be watchful" or "to be alert." Usage: Eri is a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, meaning "watchful" or "vigilant." It is used to identify a specific individual within the genealogies of the tribes of Israel. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of ancient Israel, names often held significant meaning and were sometimes indicative of the character or destiny of the individual. Eri is listed as one of the sons of Gad, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The tribe of Gad was known for its warrior-like characteristics, and the name Eri, meaning "watchful," may reflect the vigilant and protective nature expected of the tribe's descendants.
