Hezron is Hebrew in Origin.
Hezron is a Hebrew masculine name (Ḥeṣrōn; חֶצְרוֹן) from the root ḥ-ṣ-r, “court, enclosure, settlement.” It can be interpreted as “enclosure,” “one of the court,” or “surrounded/protected.” Related nouns ḥaṣer/ḥaẓer denote courtyards and village-compounds, and the -on ending functions as a formative.
In the Bible, Hezron is a grandson of Judah and an ancestor of King David (Genesis 46:12; 1 Chronicles 2), appearing as Esrom in the Septuagint and the New Testament genealogies (Matthew 1:3). The name also occurs as a southern Judean place-name. English usage is rare but steady among Jewish and Christian families seeking distinctive biblical choices. Variants and transliterations include Hezron, Hesron, Hetsron, Chesron/Chetzron, and Esrom; no common nicknames are established. In modern Israel it remains uncommon as a given name, sometimes encountered in religious communities or in biblical-study circles.
