Hagar Forename Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
F. This now somewhat obsolescent name owes its English use to Hagar, the concubine of Abraham and the mother of Ishmael (Genesis, xvi).
A female name derived from the handmaid of Sarah, in Hebrew הָגָר, Haghár, which some translate ‘flight,’ because she was put to flight by her mistress (Gen. xvi. 1; xxv. 12). Others render the name ‘stranger,’ from gur, to tarry, to be a sojourner; and, says Jones, this answers to her condition as a stranger or sojourner in the family of Abraham.
Hay'-gar, a stranger, that fears. An Egyptian woman, and servant to Sarah the wife of Abraham. Gen. xvi. 1, &c.
Meaning: ensnaring: the sojourner.
A Hebrew name, meaning: Timid Stranger: flight.
