ירושלים
Hebrew
Alternative forms
- ירושלם (defective spelling)
- 𐤉𐤓𐤅𐤔𐤋𐤉𐤌 (Paleo-Hebrew spelling)
Etymology
Disputed. Possibly of ultimate origin ירו (yarú, “he lays down”) + שלם (Shalém, “the Canaanite god Shalem”). Popular folk-etymology יראה (yir'éh, “he sees”) + שלום (shalóm, “peace”). Akin to Akkadian 𒌑𒊒𒊓𒅆 (úrusalim) and Classical Syriac ܐܘܪܫܠܡ (ʾŪrišlēm). Word-end pronunciation of -áyim most likely a post-Biblical development.
