boazlar

Boazlar is a Turkish term that would designate the descendants of Boaz, a figure in the Hebrew Bible, or more broadly a family name derived from the given name Boaz. In biblical narrative, Boaz is a wealthy Bethlehemite of the Tribe of Judah who marries Ruth after Naomi’s return to Bethlehem. The couple’s son Obed becomes the father of Jesse, who is the father of King David. Through this lineage, Boaz is part of the Davidic line, making Boaz’s descendants part of the royal lineage recognized in Jewish and Christian traditions. In Christian tradition, Boaz and Ruth’s lineage is listed in the genealogies of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew, with some traditions also tracing through Luke, thus linking Jesus to the Davidic line.

In the biblical text, Boaz is noted for his kindness and protection toward Ruth and for acting as a kinsman-redeemer (goel), a near-relatives obligation that includes redeeming a family member in distress. The story of Ruth and Boaz, found in the Book of Ruth, is frequently cited for themes such as loyalty, righteousness, inclusion, and providential care.

In modern usage, Boazlar may appear as a surname or as a designation for people who claim descent from Boaz. There is no separate historical group universally recognized by the name Boazlar outside biblical and literary contexts; the term primarily reflects a genealogical or onomastic reference to Boaz’s lineage in religious texts and their cultural interpretations.
