Meaning and etymology of the name Heber

Heber 
There are three Hebers in the Bible. The first Heber mentioned is a son of Beriah, son of Asher, son of Jacob with Zilpah (Genesis 46:17). Another Heber is the husband of Jael, who killed Sisera (Judges 4:24).
Other Hebers are a descendant of Judah (1 Chronicles 4:18), and a Benjaminite (1 Chronicles 8:17). Luke mentions a Heber in the genealogy of Christ (3:35) but this is a Greek transliteration of the Hebrew name Eber.
The name Heber comes from (habar) meaning to be joined, have fellowship with. Derivatives are: (heber), meaning company, association; (haber), meaning associate, companion;  (hoberet), meaning a joint (a connection, such as used in the tabernacle Exodus 26:10); (habbar), associate, partner;  (mehabbera), binder, clamp.
The name Heber means Companion, or Associate (NOBS Study Bible Name List), or even Fellowship (Jones' Dictionary of Old Testament Proper Names), and is kindred to the name Hebron.
