What does Asher mean?
/ˈæ.ʃɚ/2 syllablesOrigin: Hebrew

Asher is a Hebrew name meaning "happy" or "blessed." In the Bible it belongs to one of Jacob's sons and the tribe descended from him.

It has a solid, cheerful sound that suits a pet with a naturally sunny disposition — the kind who greets every morning, and every visitor, like good news.
