Jewels, as a name, has no Hebrew translation. The word for "jewels" is "tahkh-shee-teem", but this is not used as a name in Hebrew.

Was Jesus a Jew or a Hebrew?

All Jews are Hebrews. Jesus was both a Jew and a Hebrew. The term "Jew" referred to the people of Judea, of which Jesus was a member, and was used as early as the fourth century BCE (including in the book of Esther). All Jews were Hebrews (since a Hebrew is any descendant of Eber and Eber is an ancestor of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the ancestors of the Jews), but not all Hebrews were Jews. Jesus was also more strongly aligned with the Pharisees he rejected than any of the other contemporaneous Jewish movements. Although the Pharisees would not become the dominant form of Judaism until the Talmud was published, their views and methods of interpretation were certainly well-developed by Jesus' time.

You can be a Dutch and a Jew both. A Hebrew Jew is part of a RACE of humans. A Dutch is a person born in the Netherlands or has been naturalized a Dutch. Dutch is also the name of their language.

The Hebrew word for Jews is Yehudim, not Jew. Like you said, there isnt' a J in Hebrew, but when people translated Hebrew to Latin and English, they turned a lot of Ys in Js. Like the names Jacob and Jesse are written Yaakov and Yishai in Hebrew.
