What is the meaning of the name Hadarezer ?

Hadarezer is Hebrew in Origin.

Hadarezer is a Northwest Semitic theophoric name preserved in the Hebrew Bible. It combines the divine name Hadad, the Aramean/Canaanite storm-god, with ezer, 'help, support,' yielding the sense 'Hadad is help' or 'Help of Hadad.' The bearer best known is the Aramean king of Zobah who fought against King David (2 Samuel 8; 10; 1 Chronicles 18-19), indicating the name's royal and Aramean milieu while transmitted through Hebrew.

Variants include Hadadezer (most common in modern English Bibles), Hadar-ezer/Hadad-ezer (hyphenated transliterations), and spellings with an apostrophe to mark the guttural, e.g., Hadar'ezer. The King James Version alternates between Hadarezer and Hadadezer. Usage as a given name today is extremely rare, appealing mainly to those seeking obscure biblical names or ancient Near Eastern theophoric forms. Related elements appear in names like Eliezer ('God is help'), underscoring the shared Semitic root meaning 'to help.'
