Anat is also an ancient goddess, and the name is very trendy just now because it is seen as "little answer" (a Biblical male name that is used nowadays on girls).

Asher. I don't think it is possible to disagree because it is a fact. I also found it:

http://www.onlysimchas.com/galleries/index.cfm?fuseaction=simchasearch&fn=AshiraMy sources are what I know (Jewish names are my "speciality"), the people I see and also the book "Le livre des prénoms bibliques et hébraïques" by Rabbi Marc-Alain Ouaknin and Rebbetzin
Dory Rotnemer.
Now maybe the people I know with this name are all wrong even if they know Hebrew or even are Israeli. But I don't think so.
