The Book of Yosippon (mistakenly) replaced Josephus' Essenes with Hebrew (not
Aramaic) Hasidim. For the start of Aramaic guesses, see Azariah dei Rossi,
Me'or Enayin (Mantua, 1573-1575).

Stephen, According to the latest edition of Even Shoshan Heb.-Heb.
dictionary, the first Hebrew occurrence is in the Book of Yosippon, a
chronicle of Jewish history to the time Titus. Written between eighth and
tenth centuries CE.

In the HB the root may be recognized in the name ASA ( Aleph Samekh Aleph).

Uri, Can you (or anyone) give one example where "their name appears" so
spelled earlier than modern times?

Stephen
