english (mainly suss-x and hampshire): topographic name denoting someone dwelling by an ash tree, from middle english asche ‘ash tree’ + the habitational suffix -er. americanized spelling of german ascher. judaism misspells this name to match the english and german name for living near an ash tree or being an ash maker. for example, in hebrew, asher is only spelled using three hebrew letters. the hebrew a is silent and yet they pr-nounce a. there is no h and e, so it would be spelled asr. they also pr-nounce the name ashare and it can mean “that” too. don’t listen to them, they do not understand even their own hebrew language. there are so many ashers who do not have jewish lineage and they just want to convert them all! why do you think they link asher to judaism all over the place?
