Can someone write this name in Hebrew?

Hi, my brother is getting a tattoo, he wants his name in hebrew but we are not sure how to write it.





His name is Erubiel





Thank You :)

Can someone write this name in Hebrew?
not sure, but you can look into it, not all names translate
Reply:Speaking only as a Hebrew speaker (I'm Jewish, but that's not the point) and someone who's already got Hebrew on their body:





Erubiel is a name of Spanish origin - which is derived from Latin to begin with - not Hebrew.





While a direct transliteration MAY be possible, there's no way of knowing for sure if your transliteration is correct. For instance, the "eh" noise at the beginning of the name is only a Hebrew vowel, which would need to be paired with a silent letter. However, there are two silent letters in Hebrew, the Aleph and the Ayin - and since Erubiel's not a Hebrew name, you would have no way to know if you had picked the "correct" letter.





I wouldn't translate Spanish to Hebrew - you end up with a wonky transliteration, is all.
Reply:My opinion is that you shouldn't get a word in a different language if you can't write it yourself. Otherwise there's no real way of knowing you got it right and it's just kinda weird. If you really want a translation, go to synagogue or Hebrew teacher and ask.
Reply:Its only the religion that states u cant "deface" your body, no1 knows if a god said that unless thay had an actual conversation






Reply:If you are Jewish, you are breaking Jewish law by getting a tatoo. You are not allowed to put any marks on your body. Your body is a temple to G-d.
