What was Esther's Hebrew name?

The Answer is in Esther in the Old Testament

What was Esther's Hebrew name?
Esther (Hebrew: אֶסְתֵּר, Standard Ester Tiberian ʾEstēr), born Hadassah, is a queen of the Persian Empire in the Hebrew Bible, the queen of Ahasuerus (traditionally identified with Artaxerxes II), and heroine of the Biblical Book of Esther which is named after her.





As a result of Esther's intervention and influence, Persian Jews lived in Persia (modern Iran) for 2400 years thereafter. Esther's husband Ahasuerus followed in the footsteps of Cyrus the Great, in showing mercy to the Jews of Persia: Cyrus had decreed an end to the Babylonian captivity of the Jews upon his conquest of Babylon in 539 BC.





Esther appears in the Bible as a woman of deep faith, courage and patriotism, ultimately willing to risk her life for her adoptive father, Mordecai, and the Jewish people. Scripture portrays her as a woman raised up as an instrument in the hand of God to avert the destruction of the Jewish people, and to afford them protection and forward their wealth and peace in their captivity. It is notable, though, that the Jewish God, Yahweh (Jehovah), is not mentioned by name[1] at any time in the Biblical Book of Esther but is inferred by reference to fasting. However, the divine name in Tetragrammaton form does appear as an acrostic at Esther 1:20; 5:4,13; 7:7, and a form of the Divine Name ("I shall prove to be,") at Esther 7:5.
