Hadarezer

Hadarezer is a masculine name of ancient Biblical origin, appearing in the Old Testament as the name of a Syrian king who was defeated by King David. The name combines elements meaning 'majesty' and 'help' in ancient Semitic languages, conveying the concept of 'the god Hadad is my help' or 'helped by majesty.' Extremely rare in modern usage, Hadarezer represents one of the more obscure biblical names that has not been widely adopted. The name has a powerful, authoritative sound with its four syllables and strong consonants. While challenging by contemporary naming standards, Hadarezer might appeal to parents seeking a name with profound biblical significance and historical depth. Its rarity ensures distinctiveness, though the pronunciation and spelling may present practical challenges in everyday use.

Pronounced had-uh-REE-zur.
