Spelling of name - Montysbox - 05-07-2023
Hi. I want to understand how to spell my moms name in Hebrew. My dad is Jewish but my mom is not. I was not raised Jewish. I have looked it up online but I see two write it. Which is right? Her name is Marilyn

Hello and welcome to the forum.
Just to let you know, the first posts are moderated to help keep out spam and bots.
I do not have an answer to your question but hopefully one of the other members here can assist.
Just out of curiosity, is there a special reason why you want to know your mother's name in Hebrew?
If it is a personal issue that you do not want to share, that's okay, just thought I would ask.
Thank you.

There is a difference to transliterating your mom’s English name using Hebrew letters and writing your mom’s Hebrew name using Hebrew letters. What exactly are you trying to do?

Since he said his mother is not Jewish I guess she does not have a Hebrew name.
I see in Wikipedia that Marilyn Monroe is transliterated מרילין מונרו

My mother was 100% Jewish but did not have not a Hebrew name either, nor do I have one
