Asnah (אַסְנָה) is a proper name appearing in Ezra 2:50 as the name of a family of temple servants (nethinim) who returned from Babylonian exile with Zerubbabel. The name's meaning is uncertain; some suggest it may relate to a place of thorns or a granary. The family was among those who committed themselves to the restored temple service.
The nethinim — the temple servants to whom Asnah's family belonged — were among the most devoted workers in Israel's worship system, often of non-Israelite descent but fully integrated into the covenant community. Their return from exile represents the fulfillment of God's promise to restore. That even obscure family names were preserved in Scripture reflects God's attention to every person who serves Him. "God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him" (Hebrews 6:10).
