Translating words into Hebrew?

Question

I need the names Katana & Kamea translated into Hebrew. I found Kame in hebrew but don't know if that is the same. Does anyone know if these can be translated since they are Asian names?

Answer 1

I guess you need these names transliterated, not translated, right?

Katana (ka-ta-na): קטנה [with vowels: קָטַנָה]
Kamea (ka-me-a): קמאה [with vowels: קַמֶאָה]

If you need them translated, post their meanings and I'll try to do the matches...

These two names are "faux amis":
Katana is similar to the Hebrew "ktana" [קטנה], means "small" (feminine form), and Kamea is similar to the Hebrew Kame'a [קמע], means "talisman" (though the pronunciation is a bit different).

Answer 2

Names are names, no matter which language they are in. If you want to spell them out using hebrew letters to make the same sound you can use the article on wikipedia to find which characters you need for the correct sound.

Answer 3

KATANA / קטנה
KAMEA / קמע
ALTHOUGH THEY ARE ASIAN NAMES ALSO THEY MATCH HEBREW MEANING, THE FIRST ONE MEANS "SMALL [FEMININE]" AND THE SECOND "AMULET"
