According to the manuscripts of Torah, the word Asher means blessing or happiness. According to the manuscripts of the bible when the asher was born Leih screamed Happy am i for all the daughters and sisters to call me happy. So, therefore, they named him Asher, meaning happy.

Also, according to the bible, the asher and his four sons moved to Canaan and settled there. The father of asher Jacob blessed him by saying His bread will be fat and he will yield dainties of royalty.
