Hezer is Hebrew in Origin.
Hezer is a rare Hebrew-rooted given name, most plausibly a transliteration variant of either Ezer (עֵזֶר, “help, aid”) or Hezir (חֵזִיר, “wild boar”). Differences in consonant marking and vowel pointing across ancient and modern sources (Hebrew, Septuagint, Vulgate, and English Bibles) yield spellings such as Hezer, Hezir, Ezer, and Azer.
Its biblical footprint is indirect: Hezir names a priestly division (1 Chronicles 24:15; Nehemiah 10–12), while Ezer is borne by several minor figures (e.g., Genesis 36:21; Nehemiah 3:19). The specific form Hezer appears sporadically in English records from the 18th–20th centuries and in contemporary creative naming. Related and variant forms include Hezir, Ezer, and Azer (in some translations); cognates and extensions from the Ezer root include Eliezer and Ezra. Usage remains very uncommon, with nicknames like Ez or Eze.
Hezer barely registers. There are only 14 recorded uses on record, spread over 9 countries.
