beeri

Beeri is a Hebrew masculine given name and surname. The name is derived from the Hebrew word be'er, meaning "well" or "spring," and is commonly understood as a toponymic or theophoric element in onomastics. In the Hebrew Bible, Beeri is attested as the name of several individuals, reflecting its long-standing use in ancient Israelite society. Because biblical names often recur in different lineages, the exact genealogical details of each bearer named Beeri vary by passage.

In modern usage, Beeri is used as both a surname and, less commonly, as a given name in Jewish communities. In Israel, the name appears in secular and religious contexts and may appear in transliterations such as Beeri, Beer, or Beiri, depending on the rendering from Hebrew.

Cultural significance: As with many Hebrew names built from common words, Beeri carries a family and cultural heritage tied to the Hebrew language and biblical tradition. See also Be'er, a common Hebrew word element in place names meaning "well."
