The name Beeri is an ancient and distinctive Hebrew name carrying profound meanings related to water, life, and spiritual sources. The literal meaning of the name is "my well" or "owner of the well," combining the concept of personal ownership with the rich symbolism of the well in Hebrew culture. A well in Jewish tradition is not merely a physical water source but also a symbol of wisdom, Torah, spiritual life, and the source of blessing. The name testifies to an intimate connection with the source of life, to responsibility, and to a deep affinity with the most vital resources. The name Beeri appears twice in the Bible, and both figures bearing it play significant roles in biblical history. The first appearance is of Beeri the Hittite, father of Judith, wife of Esau son of Isaac (Genesis 26:34). Esau's marriages to Hittite women, including Judith daughter of Beeri, were a source of grief to Isaac and Rebekah, marking Esau's distancing from the patriarchal family ways. The second and more significant appearance is of Beeri son of Ephraim, father of the prophet Hosea (Hosea 1:1). Hosea was the first among the twelve minor prophets and operated in the Kingdom of Israel during a turbulent period of spiritual and political crisis. The fact that the father of such a significant prophet bears the name Beeri grants the name a status of honor and spiritual heritage. Beyond its biblical significance, the name Beeri carries rich symbolic dimensions. The well in desert culture was a central meeting place where tribes gathered, covenants were made, and marriages were arranged. We recall the meeting between Jacob and Rachel by the well, or between Eliezer, Abraham's servant, and Rebekah. The well represents not only physical water but also a source of social connections, communal life, and continuity. One who bears the name Beeri carries the responsibility for the source of life, the ability to provide and care, and a deep connection to roots and tradition. The name testifies to a person who is himself a source of blessing, an inexhaustible spring, possessing the ability to quench the thirsty - whether in the physical or spiritual sense.

In Kabbalah, the well symbolizes the supernal understanding (Binah) and the source of hidden wisdom. The waters rising from the well represent the spiritual abundance descending from the upper worlds to the physical world. The name Beeri expresses a direct connection to the source of divine blessing, and its bearer is considered one capable of drawing from the depths of wisdom and transmitting it to others. The well is also a symbol of the inner soul, the pure spring within every person, and therefore the name testifies to inner purity and connection to sources of holiness.
