The Hebrew personal name אֶבְיָתָר 'ævjātār "Abjatar" is a verb sentence name, consisting of subject and predicate. Subject (and at the same time theophoric element) is the nounאָב 'āv , German ' father ' , the predicate is from the verb rootיתר jtr , German 'to leave / have / overflow' can be derived. Therefore the name can be translated as "Father is rich / has given abundance / is abundant". The Septuagint gives the name as Αβιαθαρ Abiathar , the Vulgate as Abiathar .
