Asher Kahn
Asher ( he, אָשֵׁר ''’Āšēr''), in the Book of Genesis, was the last of the two sons of Jacob and Zilpah (Jacob's eighth son) and the founder of the Israelite Tribe of Asher.

The Bible states that at his birth Leah exclaimed, "Happy am I! for the daughters will call me happy: so she called his name Asher", meaning "happy" (Genesis 30:13). Some scholars argue that the name of ''Asher'' may have to do with a deity originally worshipped by the tribe, either Asherah, or Ashur, the chief Assyrian deity;''Jewish Encyclopedia'' the latter possibility is cognate with Asher.
