The English name Ahasuerus is derived from a Latinized form of the Hebrew Áchashwerosh (אחשורוש), which is a Hebrew rendering of the Babylonian Achshiyarshu: both this and the Greek Ξέρξης are renderings of the Old Persian Xšayāršā (also spelt Khsayârshâ).
This in turn is the Hebrew equivalent of the Babylonian Achshiyarshu: both this and the Greek Ξέρξης are transliterations from the Old Persian Xšayāršā (also spelt Khsayârshâ). The English name Ahasuerus is derived from the Latin transliteration of the Hebrew Áchashwerosh (אחשורוש).
