Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Biblické meno Hagar, hebrejsky Hāgār, má nejasnú etymológiu. Za najpravdepodobnejšiu sa pokladá súvislosť so severoarabským koreňom h-g-r označujúcim odchod či vysťahovanie; výklad „cudzinka“ podľa hebrejského ger je skôr tradičnou slovnou asociáciou než bezpečne dokázaným rozborom.
