Edvard Isak Hambro (educator)

Edvard Isak Hambro (3 July 1847 – 29 August 1909) was a Norwegian educator.

He was born in Bergen as a son of Carl Joachim Hambro (1813–1873) and Angelique Cathrine Bull (1813–1899).

He was a maternal grandson of Georg Jacob Bull, brother-in-law of Nils A. Dahl, first cousin of Edvard Isak Hambro Bull and the judge Edward Isak Hambro, and a first cousin once removed of the British banker Charles Joachim Hambro.

He then studied Hebrew and Arabic as a research fellow in Germany, but stopped his scholarly career and instead became a language teacher (Greek, Latin, German) in the school system.
