liamליאםcurated everyday spelling

ליאם is Liam in Hebrew letters, written right to left. The letters follow the sounds of the name, the way Israeli media spell foreign names, with helper letters marking the vowels.

How it works

Hebrew runs right to left and mostly writes consonants - the reader supplies the vowels. Modern Israeli writing softens that for foreign names with helper letters that mark the vowel sounds, and that is the style we use: we look your name up in a pronunciation dictionary of over 120,000 English words and rebuild it the way an Israeli newspaper would spell it.

If your name is too new or too rare for the dictionary, we sound it out from the spelling first and tell you so under the result.

An honest word: some names have two Hebrew lives. A Sarah or a David can be written phonetically - or with the original biblical spelling their name descends from, which is how Israelis actually write them. Where we have verified a name against real Hebrew usage, you see that everyday form; everything else carries the approximate mark honestly.

The letterforms you see are Frank Ruhl, the classic Hebrew bookface Israeli newspapers have set their pages in for a century.
