Tips

culture

阿什尔 transliterates Asher (אָשֵׁר), the eighth son of Jacob in the Hebrew Bible and one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The name means 'happy / blessed' in Hebrew. The Mandarin rendering uses the standard '-尔 (-ěr)' suffix that handles English/Hebrew '-er' or '-r' endings (compare 彼得 Peter, 哈姆雷特 Hamlet).
