And Beri, a descendant of Asher, possibly meaning 'my well' or related to Be'eri
This personal name appears in 1 Chronicles 7:36, in the genealogies of Asher. BDB suggests it may be equivalent to 'Be'eri' (meaning 'my well'), a name borne by Hosea's father. The name is brief and its etymology uncertain, though the 'be'er' (well) root is plausible. It appears in a genealogical list establishing Asherite lineages. The name's simplicity and well-connection fit the pattern of place-based or resource-based personal names in ancient Israel.

1. sense 1 — A personal name borne by a descendant of Asher in 1 Chronicles 7:36, possibly meaning 'my well' or related to the name Be'eri. The etymology, while uncertain, likely connects to 'be'er' (well/spring), following the pattern of names derived from water sources. Multilingual renderings (Berí, Beri) simply transliterate, with some preserving Hebrew script, reflecting the proper-noun status and minimal attestation. The name fits among Asherite tribal genealogies documenting family lineages. 1×
