Ahasuerus
Ahasuerus (; Old Persian: ''Xšayārša''; ; in the Septuagint; or (ラテン語:Assuerus) in the Vulgate; commonly transliterated ''Achashverosh'') is a name used several times in the Hebrew Bible, as well as related legends and Apocrypha. This name (or title) is applied in the Hebrew Scriptures to three rulers. The same name is also applied uncertainly to a Babylonian official (or Median king) noted in the Book of Tobit.
==Etymology==
The name Ahasuerus is equivalent to the Greek name Xerxes, both deriving from the Old Persian language ''Xšayārša''. The form Xerxes has not traditionally appeared in English Bibles,〔KJV, NASB, Amplified Bible, ESV, 21st Century King James Version, ASV, Young's Literal Translation, Darby Translation, Holman Christian Standard Bible, etc.〕 but has rather appeared as Ahasuerus. Many newer translations and paraphrases〔NIV, The Message, NLT, CEV, NCV, NIRV, TNIV, etc.〕 have used the name Xerxes.
The name Xerxes comes from the Greek Ξέρξης. The English name Ahasuerus is derived from a Latinized form of the Hebrew Akhashverosh (אחשורוש), which is a Hebrew rendering of the Babylonian Achshiyarshu: both this and the Greek Ξέρξης are renderings of the Old Persian Xšayāršā.〔Nichol, F.D., ''Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary'', ''Volume 3'', Review and Herald Publishing Association, (Washington, D.C., 1954 edition), p.459, "Historical Setting"〕 Thus this literary change was created as the name moved across each of the language groups in a westerly direction from Persia until it entered English translations of the Bible.
