Original Word: צוּעָר
Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine
Transliteration: Tsaw`ar
Pronunciation: Tsoo-ar
Phonetic Spelling: (tsoo-awr')
Definition: Tsoar
Meaning: Tsuar

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root צוּעַ (tsua), which means "to be small" or "insignificant."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew name Tsuar, as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew genealogies. However, the concept of smallness or insignificance can be related to Greek words like "μικρός" (mikros), meaning "small" or "little."

Usage: Tsuar is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a person. It is not a common name and appears in genealogical contexts. The name itself suggests a sense of smallness or insignificance, which may reflect the cultural or familial status of the individual or the tribe associated with the name.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of ancient Israel, names often carried significant meaning and were sometimes reflective of the circumstances of birth, family status, or prophetic insight. The name Tsuar, meaning "small" or "insignificant," could imply a humble beginning or a lesser status within a family or tribe. Genealogies in the Bible served to establish identity, inheritance rights, and tribal affiliations, which were crucial in the socio-political and religious life of ancient Israel.
