He is known for his role in the story of Purim, where he helps his cousin Esther, the queen of Persia, to save the Jewish people from extermination.

In Arabic, the name is often transliterated as Mardukhay (مردخاي). Throughout history, the name has been borne by several notable figures, including Mordecai Kaplan, a Jewish rabbi and theologian who founded the Reconstructionist movement in Judaism.

A king is a male monarch, typically of a kingdom or empire. The term refers to the male sovereign ruler of a state or territory, and is distinguished from other titles such as emperor, prince, or duke, often by either the size of the territory ruled or by the prestige of the position. The term king is derived from the Old English cyning, which itself is derived from the Proto-Germanic *kuningaz. In Hebrew, the word for king is melech (מלך), while in Arabic, it is malik (ملك). In many cultures, kingship is hereditary, often following the principle of primogeniture, but other succession methods, such as election or selection, have also been used. Historically, kings have held a variety of powers, including military command, legislative authority, and the right to levy taxes. In modern contexts, many kings retain ceremonial and symbolic roles, with actual governing power vested in elected officials or other bodies.

In Spanish, the name is Ester, and in French, it is Esther or Ève. The name has been widely used across various cultures and has several variations, including Hester in English and Esther in German and Dutch. The biblical story of Esther has contributed significantly to the name's enduring popularity and cultural relevance.
