Ater is a rare and unique given name of Hebrew origin. It means "thou art," which translates to "you are" in English. The name is derived from the Hebrew word "ateret," meaning "crown." In the Bible, Ater is mentioned as one of the names of a man who was present at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem (Nehemiah 3:12). While it may not be widely known or used today, the name Ater has a rich historical and cultural background that makes it an interesting choice for parents looking for a distinctive name for their child.
The name Ater has a unique presence in the United States, with a consistent yet limited appearance in birth records over time. In the year 2005 alone, there were five babies named Ater according to U.S. birth statistics. Since then, the total number of individuals born with this distinctive name has remained steady at five. This suggests that while Ater is not one of the most popular choices for newborns in the U.S., it has maintained a constant presence among new additions to American families over time.
