אֲחַשְׁוֵר֖וֹשׁ
𐤀𐤇𐤔𐤅𐤓𐤅𐤔
Achasheverosh
of Ahasuerus
Proper name designating Persian kings, most notably the ruler featured in the books of Esther, Ezra, and Daniel. Used as a royal name or title, often equated with the historical figure Xerxes I, though it may refer more generally to a line of Persian monarchs. The term does not inherently distinguish between individual rulers but serves as a designator for a king of Persia.
