What is the meaning of the Hebrew name Mahlon in English?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

the 3-consonant root of Mahalalel is ה.ל.ל (H.L.L.) which means "to praise". Other words with this root are Halleluya and Hillel (a Jewish name).

The actual word Mahalalel has no meaning, and is possibly from a semitic language other than Hebrew.

If there is no j in Hebrew language how can His name be Jehovah?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No - in its original form Hebrew did not have a J sound (as in Jay).

However, in modern Hebrew the ג (Gimmel - third letter of the Hebrew alphabet) is used with an apostrophe to change it from G "as in Give" to J as in "Jay". This is a linguistic invention to allow transliteration from other languages.

How do you translate may it be god's will in Hebrew?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Hebrews almost never used God's actual name, the closest they would come is יהוה‎ (transliterated as YHWH). The four letters, read from right to left, are yodh, he, waw, and he. While there is no consensus about the structure and etymology of the name, the form Yahweh is now accepted almost universally.

What does bub be mean in Hebrew?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Are you're referring to what a grandmother is called in Yiddish (not Hebrew) - Bubbeh - which in American English is often pronounced "bubbie"? The origin of the word is probably old Russian. In modern Russian a grandmother is called "babushka", which in America refers to a kerchief worn on the head, probably because that's what Russian peasant women used to (and for all I know still do) wear.
