Rashi, on Esth 9:24

“For Aman, the son of Amadathi of the race of Agag, the enemy and adversary of the Jews, had devised evil against them, to kill them and destroy them: and had cast Phur, that is, the lot.”

“For Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite devised to terrify them and destroy them.”
