  • The Hebraization of English (or Hebraicization of English) is the use of the Hebrew alphabet to transliterate English words. For example, the English name spelled "Timothy" in the English alphabet can be Hebraized as "טימותי" in the Hebrew alphabet. Hebraization includes any use of the Hebrew alphabet to transliterate English words. Usually it is to identify an English word in the Hebrew language. The term transliteration means using an alphabet to represent the letters and sounds of a word spelled in another alphabet, whereas the term transcription means using an alphabet to represent the sounds only. Hebraicization can do both. The table below concisely shows the most common way in which transliteration is applied using the Modern/Israeli Hebrew pronunciation. Also see Romanization of Hebrew for the method for going from Hebrew to a Latin or English script. Because vowels are not consistent in English, they are in their own table at the end.
