A Biblical name referring to a male figure in the genealogy of the Old Testament, particularly the grandson of Judah.
From Hebrew Ḥeṣrôn, possibly meaning 'enclosed' or 'shut in' (from ḥaṣar, to enclose); the name appears in Biblical genealogies, particularly in the line leading to King David.
Hezron's genealogy is important to Biblical scholars because it appears in multiple gospel accounts as part of Jesus's lineage—he's thousands of years removed, but technically still an ancestor.
