I was reading a book about Jacob (Israel) and all of his sons and his daughter. When Asher was born the book said he was named after the goddess Asha, which was a big joke among the wives because Asha was a patron of women and the like. I don't know if this is true or not (I would guess not) but I thought you might find it interesting. The book was "The Red Tent" by Anita Diamant.
