What Does Jerusalem Mean?

Jerusalem has many names in different languages. There are seventy different Jewish names for Jerusalem.  In the Talmud, it is given that Jerusalem was named by the creator of this Universe. This name 'Jerusalem' has two parts: Yira and shalem. The first part Yira means 'to see' and the second word 'shalem' means 'peace'.

It was originally known as 'the Heritage of peace' or 'the Heriatage of Salem'. Uru-shalim was the original name of the city. Later, it was changed to Yerushalem. The words Uru and Ur are related to the Hebrew word 'Ir' and mean 'city (of)'. Thus, the Hebrew name Yerushalayim means 'City of Peace' and its Arabic meaning is 'The Holiness'. The Greek form of Jerusalem is Hierosalem and Hierosolyma. Hiero means 'holy'. Thus, it means 'holy city' or 'holy hall'.

Jerusalem means that whenever you do a flippin school report on it, it takes ages so dont do it because it is so annoying........ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
