is the word HAIFA an ARABIC name or an ISRAEL?

Question

there is a town in ISRAEL called HAIFA

Answer 1

haifa is an arabic name, the difference is that the two names are pronounced differently
haifa (actress) is pronounced : hayfa
haifa (Israeli place) is pronounced : Heefa

the name haifa is originally arabic it means "tall"
when the arabs wanted to comment on a tall beautiful girl, they say she is haifa, and thats how the lebanese singer got her name.

Answer 2

Haifa, city and chief seaport of Israel, in the northern part of the country, on the Bay of Haifa, at the eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea. Haifa is also a word in Arabic...it's a conjugated verb "حاف" which means few different things. Haifa = حائفة --moving woman --Hiding woman It doesn't have to be a woman, it's just taking about a female. It could also mean "put a side "حاف" or "attack or surprise"...it depends on the context.
