Avshalom

In Hebrew, the meaning of Avshalom is 'father of peace' or 'father is peace'. The abbreviated form Avshalom is often used to connect to the name of Rehoboam's father-in-law, who is described as my father in peace in the book of 1 Kings in the Old Testament. The Danish politician and priest Absalon, who lived in the 12th century is a bearer of the name's another variation. German surname Absolon is also a variation. Medieval England also adopted the name (Absolon, Apsolon, and Absalon). As in the biblical story of Absalom accompanying his father, King David, across the forest of Ephraim and having his curly hair caught in a tree, as depicted in the Canterbury Tales, the name may have been a nickname for a man with tight curls. In the 18th and 19th centuries, Anglo-Saxon Protestantism maintained to use of the name Absalom. The Hebrew name, popular among Palestinian Jews in the 19th and 20th centuries and still used today in Israel, is mainly translated as Avshalom to match the pronunciation of modern Hebrew. Avshalom Kor (born 1950), is an Israeli scholar; a Jewish spy for Britain in World War I Avshalom Haviv, and Avshalom Elitzur (born 1957), an Israeli physiologist and scholar, are famous people with the name Avshalom. Although it is typically used concerning God, it could also relate to any individual. In other respects, Avshalom is for everyone, not just believers.

Avshalom lucky number is 1.

1 symbolizes a pioneering spirit, independent nature, and innate leadership capabilities. On a bad day, 1 can be a bit bossy or boastful, hiding any insecurities behind over-developed self-importance. 1 must remember that although it is first, it can very quickly become the loneliest number. Even the most autonomous 1s need the support of their friends, family, and lovers.
