Which person, who hid their true identity, had a name reflecting this?

Jacob

Esther
Jacob
Sarah
Esther
Esther
The three letter root of Esther in Hebrew is s-t-r (סתר), "hide, conceal". The passive infinitive is (לְהִסָּ֫תֶר), "to be hidden". The name Jacob has its origins in the Hebrew language and is derived from the word "Ya'aqov" (יַעֲקֹב). It has been traditionally interpreted to mean "supplanter" or "holder of the heel." The name Jacob does not directly mean "deceiver" and the deceiver association comes only from the biblical narrative and Jacob's actions in the story.
