Ruth (רוּת, rut) van zn רְעוּת H07468 (rÿ’ut, “vriendschap”), afgeleid van de stam רֵעַ H07462 (rea’, “vriend, metgezel”)
een Moabitische, vrouw van Machlon en later van Boaz.
As to Ruth, much has been deduced from the Syriac spelling found in the Peshitta re'ut, but elision of an 'ayin cannot easily be explained. A connection with a root rawah ("saturate, refresh"), as proposed by A. Bertholet (in Marti's Kurzer Handkommentar zum AT, 1898, ad loc.), is very doubtful, as well as a connection with Chaldaic werad ("rose"). The suggestion has even been made that the reversed reading of the name Ruth, tur, meaning "turtledove", may be of significance! (Hertzberg, ad loc.) However, J.J. Stamm favors "refresh" in "Hebräische Frauennamen (Hebräische Wortforschung, pages 325-326).
