Comments for the name Asher

There a character in the book "The Giver" named Asher. He was Jonas's best friend.

Two of Chaim Potoks novels are "My Name is Asher Lev" and its sequel, "The Gift of Asher Lev". I'm surprised this name isn't more popular, given that it has a great meaning, is practical and easy to spell, and is one of the 12 tribes. (Not that being one of the 12 tribes in itself guarantees popularity.) And I almost forgot to mention, we have a son named Asher who was born in 2002.

This is Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler's son's middle name. Landon Asher Barker.

In the Anita Blake series by Laurell K, Hamilton one of the lead characters is a vampire named Asher.

The main character from the books "The Innocent Mage" and "The Awakened Mage" by Karen Miller is named Asher. I think it's a great name.

A famous bearer of this name is Asher Roth, the rapper of the song "I Love College". Hilarious song. :)

As many people have mentioned, this is the name of a character from 'The Giver'. To the person wanting to name a son Gabriel Asher, I wanted to point out that Gabriel is also a character from 'The Giver' (he's the new child that Jonas' dad has to watch over, and Jonas eventually rescues from release). Anyway, this is a pretty nice name. It sounds like it could be used for a girl or a boy.
