Evyatar

Evyatar is a male given name of Hebrew origin. It translates roughly to "My father is abundant" or "My father is generous" or "Father of plenty." It is composed of the elements Avi (אבי), meaning "my father," and Yatar (יתר), meaning "abundance" or "remnant." The name has historical significance, notably associated with a prominent High Priest in the time of King David. He was initially loyal to David but later sided with Adonijah, leading to his exile from the priesthood. The name Evyatar, therefore, carries both a sense of blessing and a complex historical context. While not as common as other Hebrew names, Evyatar is still used today, primarily within Jewish communities. Its meaning and association with generosity and abundance make it a desirable name for some parents.
