Yud (י), (more commonly pronounced Yohd in Israel) is the tenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet. It sounds like the English Y.
Answer:
The ancient basis of the letter yud is the Hebrew word for "hand" (yad). Its ancient pronunciation is between "J" and "Y," with a slight difference between a dotted yud and one containing no dot.

What does WWW MEAN in HEBREW?
it is the same in Hebrew as in English, just like all the email addresses are in English so are web addresses _____ To clarify, there is no letter in the Hebrew alphabet that actually corresponds to the English letter 'W'. As a result, www has no meaning in Hebrew. When translating foreign words that have the 'w' sound into Hebrew, the most common letter combination used is: yud yud. The sound the letter yud makes is the same as the English 'Y'. A cute anecdote, many years ago there was a Wendy's fast food restaurant in Tel Aviv. The Wendy's sign had the English letter W then the rest of the name written in Hebrew.
