Cherubim

\Cher"u*bim\, n. The Hebrew plural of Cherub.. Cf. Seraphim.

Wikipedia says...

A cherub (Hebrew כרוב, plural כרובים cherubim) is a supernatural entity mentioned several times in the Tanakh (or Old Testament) and the Book of Revelation.

In Catholic theology the Cherubim are one of the highest ranks in the hierarchy of angels, along with Seraphim. In popular Christian tradition, "cherub" and "cherubim" have become synonyms of "angel(s)" and especially with "baby angel(s)". Because most English speakers are unfamiliar with Hebrew plural formation, the word cherubims is sometimes incorrectly used as a plural. In English usage, cherubs is also an acceptable plural form, especially for "baby angels".
