ירושלים

• ירושלם‎ (defective spelling)
• 𐤉𐤓𐤅𐤔𐤋𐤉𐤌‎ (Paleo-Hebrew spelling)

Disputed. Possibly of ultimate origin ירו‎ (yarú, “he lays down”) +‎ שלם‎ (Shalém, “the Canaanite god Shalem”). Popular folk-etymology יראה‎ (yir'éh, “he sees”) +‎ שלום‎ (shalóm, “peace”). Akin to Akkadian 𒌑𒊒𒊓𒅆 (úrusalim) and Classical Syriac ܐܘܪܫܠܡ‎ (ʾŪrišlēm). Word-end pronunciation of -áyim most likely a post-Biblical development.
