It is a biblical/hebrew boys name. It means happy, rich, lucky.

What do you think?

hm...isn't there a r&b singer called Asher?
It does sound nice,but people might start spouting how chavtastic it is
I don't think it's chav, btw...but...I am sure someone will be around in a moment and say something like that...

I really do like Levi

I was actually thinking about this yesterday..!!

There is a little boy at preschool called Levi (although I suspect after the jeans rather than the tribe of Israel) and I was thinking what other tribes of Israel could be actual names in todays world in the UK

Joseph, Benjamin, Dan of course, but then I came up with Levi and Asher which would be fine.

makes me think of a Chaim Potok book -I think -My Name is Asher Lev?

not sure how I feel about the name. A bit too orthodox for me. I am Jewish BTW.
