Swift and aloof, Asaf is a masculine name with Hebrew origins and means “collector” or “gatherer.” Inspired by biblical Asaph, Asaf nods to several men from the Hebrew Bible. One such Asaph is said to have written the Psalms of Asaph with the promise to worship God in music and song. With its link to the expression of the soul through music, Asaf flows from the lips like a joyful hymn.
