Etymology


The village is named after "Azrikam, a descendant of Zerubbabel."[2] (1 Chronicles 3:23)


History


The moshav was established in 1950 on the lands of the depopulated Palestinian village of Bayt Daras, just south of the depopulated Palestinian village of al-Batani al-Gharbi[3] by Jewish refugees from Tunisia.[4] It was initially named Bitanya.[5] In the first few years, the moshav's residents lived in tents without electricity, water or gas.
