An inhabitant or native of Ephratah, an ancient region in Judea associated with Bethlehem.
From Hebrew Ephratah plus the English suffix '-ite.' The root Ephratah appears in the Bible referring to a fertile region; the suffix '-ite' denotes a person from that place.
Boaz from the biblical story of Ruth is actually described as an 'Ephrathite,' which tells us he was from this fertile region—ancient names often told you where someone was from, like a built-in GPS.
