Hepar is the latin name for liver. It is in the nominative (subject) form. We are more familiar with the genitive form hepatis, from which medical terms are derived.

What is a synonym for liver?

If you mean the body organ, there is no synonym. The old Greek word was 'hepar' from which we get the adjective 'hepatic', meaning pertaining to the liver. If you mean 'a person who lives', this is not a frequently used word, and alternatives would often be descriptions rather than nouns (one who is alive?) but you might say 'dweller' or 'inhabitant' in the sense of one who lives in a particular place.
