Ahiezer 
There are two men named Ahiezer in the Bible. The first one we meet is a tribe leader and a son of Ammishaddai of Dan. This Ahiezer helps Moses and Aaron perform the first census of Israel (Numbers 1:12). The second Ahiezer mentioned in the Bible is the first of the mighty men to come to David at Ziklag (1 Chronicles 12:3).
The name Ahiezer consists of two elements:
1) The the word  (ah) meaning brother. The first part of the name Ahiezer is identical to the name Ahi, and means "brother of."
