Yithran/Ithran, personal name (Edomite, Asherite)
A personal name appearing for two different individuals in genealogical lists: an Edomite descendant of Seir the Horite (Genesis 36:26 = 1 Chronicles 1:41), and a man of Asher (1 Chronicles 7:37, possibly identical with Jether mentioned earlier in the genealogy). The name's etymology is uncertain but may relate to the root יתר (to remain, be left over, excel). The Greek versions vary widely (Ιθραν, Θερα, Ιεθερ), showing the typical challenges of transliterating Hebrew names. The dual usage across Edomite and Israelite lineages demonstrates that certain names crossed ethnic boundaries in the ancient Near East.
Senses
1. sense 1 — A personal name borne by at least two individuals from different ethnic groups. The Edomite Yithran appears in the Horite genealogies that Genesis preserves, showing the biblical writers' interest in tracking Edomite lineages (Israel's brother nation descended from Esau). The Asherite usage shows the name also circulated among Israelite tribes. The conjunction 'and Yithran' in the glosses simply reflects the typical genealogical list format ('A and B and C'). 3×
