Hathach, a Persian court official who served as intermediary between Esther and Mordecai.
A Persian proper name borne by an official (or eunuch) at the court of King Ahasuerus, appointed to attend Queen Esther. Hathach served as the critical go-between during the crisis of Haman's decree, carrying messages between Esther inside the palace and Mordecai at the gate (Esth 4:5–10). The name is likely of Old Persian origin, and its spelling is preserved with minimal variation across translations — Spanish 'Hatac,' French 'Hathac' — reflecting its status as a loanword.

1. sense 1 — Hathach — a Persian court attendant who conveyed messages between Esther and Mordecai during the crisis of Haman's genocidal decree (Esth 4:5, 6, 9, 10). His role as intermediary was essential: Esther could not leave the palace, and Mordecai could not enter. The name appears to be of Old Persian derivation. Spanish 'Hatac' and French 'Hathac' show slight phonetic adaptation, while German retains the Hebrew consonantal form. 4×
