Anyone write hebrew? I wanna get a tattoo in hebrew of my last name which is Jewell. Help?

Question

I already have 4 tattoos

My grandpa is Jewish by blood

Answer 1

If you are looking for how to spell the name Jewell in Hebrew, you should know that there is no Hebrew equivalent to the English 'J' and 'W' sounds. Modern Hebrew modifies the letter 'gimmel' (which represents a hard 'g' sound) to accomodate this by putting an apostrophe next to it.

It might look something like this:
ג'וואל

The Hebrew word for "jewel" is תכשיט, which is pronounced "tach-sheet."

Answer 2

Hi, well I don't think there is a specific Hebrew name for the name Jewell. However, you could chose any Hebrew name such Yehudis which is Hebrew for Judy, but then that's a first name. Last names aren't necessarily Hebrew names, it just uses the Hebrew alphabet instead.

Answer 3

Hebrew has beautiful characters, but if your not Jewish and you don't know Hebrew why is this important to you. As a female with a number of tattoos may I suggest you tattoo yourself with art that is meaningful and personal to you. Not here to judge, but just a suggestion.

Answer 4

You don't need a tattoo your body is perfect as it is. Your name is kool too. If you are a girl, have your name printed on a anklet or guy/girl have your name printed on a bracelet. Old age make tattoos look awful. Think long and hard about put something on and in your body that will have a life long effect. Read the Book of Leviticus 15 and 18.

Answer 5

I do not. However the Internet is vast and varied; the Babelfish Translator just might serve your purpose. Try typing in 'jewel' instead of your name; it sounds close enough to the original, and is much more likely to jive with the program.
A somewhat lengthier process would have you looking for the meaning of your name and finding that word in Hebrew.
Good luck!

Answer 6

Your best bet is to go to a local Synagogue and ask the Rabbi. He may counsel you against getting a tattoo (I certainly would) but it is your choice. What you have to decide is if you want the Hebrew script or block letters - they look different and he (the Rabbi) can show you examples.
