It is a Hebrew word for an anniversary. Some of the regulations in the book of Leviticus in The Bible pertain to marking the anniversary, especially the seventh and the fiftieth. Leviticus 25:10 contains regulations about marking the fiftieth anniversary. A lost book of the Bible was the Book of Jubilees which contained further regulations to be observed on anniversaries.

Nowadays, a Jubilee is a special anniversary, marked at the twenty-fifth, fiftieth, and sixtieth years and called the silver, golden, and diamond jubilees respectively. The diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II's reign is in 2012.
