Is this really a stub? I'm not sure how much more can be said on the subject. Quadell 13:13, Apr 29, 2004 (UTC)

Maybe there could have been more references in the scriptures, but I only recall Asenath from the Book of Genesis. Since I'm not sure, declaring the page a stub was a conservative edit decision on my part. Gilgamesh 21:42, April 29, 2004 (UTC)

Er, isn't the kamatz a kamatz katan? Isn't it Osenath? &mdash;msh210 18:20, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)

It is a kamatz katan and what's more, the shva is a shva nach, so it should be Osnath. Efhábé (talk) 11:48, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Asenath, in Yiddish the same name as Asne?
My Jewish name is Asne, from my great grandmother who lived in Lithuania. Her children came to Norway, Trondheim around 1880-1890. After her death at least three of her granddaughters were named Asne after her. My mother moved to Stockholm, Sweden when she married my father. When I was born I was named Asne after the first Asne in the family. I am the only one in my generation with this name. Is Asenath and Asne the same name? When I got married, the Rabbi asked for my Jewish name. He said that Asnat or Osnat bat Potifar was the only one to consider, but she was not Jewish, so I must be mistaken. But now I read here that this woman converted into Judaism! The reason why I ask is that the Rabbi rejected my name Asne as my Jewish name when I was getting married. He decided to call me Hanna, that he found close to my official name Anneli. I have been married since 1957. Do I have to be berried as Hanna? I am Asne!

I would like to know if there are other Asnes or Asenaths around.

" Modern scholarship says her name derives from the Egyptian 'holy to Anath' "
Someone please provide a scholarly citation for this important etymological / philological assertion !! See also the article "Anath" which makes the same assertion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Setmose (talk • contribs) 16:40, 14 January 2008 (UTC) joseph Charles fissell juniors wife return to him.

Matriarch?
Is she considered one of the Biblical matriarchs? I see the article categorized as such. Goustien (talk) 01:04, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
