Etymology
[edit]Uncertain. Some sources state that the toponym derives from a Hebrew name meaning “Beautiful River”, which is plausible because the village was founded as a Jewish agricultural colony and is situated within a mile of the River Inhul. Those sources do not cite a specific Hebrew etymon, although יָפֶה (yafé, “beautiful, comely, fair, goodly, pleasant”) + נָהָר (nahár, “river”) would be semantically apt. However, as a phrase, יָפֶה נָהָר (yafé nahár) is rather akin to “the river beautiful” in English: the usual position of the adjective is reversed, though this is not strictly incorrect (compare Hebrew יְפֵה נוֹף (yafé nof, “Jerusalem”, literally “beautiful view”) in Psalm 48). Moreover, the first vowel of נָהָר (nahár) is absent in all the Russian toponym’s spellings, where is should occur between н[ь] (n⁽ʹ⁾) and г (g); this absence is unexplained.
Cognate with Ukrainian Єфінгар (Jefinhar).
