Where this word comes from
Borrowed from German Hebräer (“Hebrew”), from Ancient Greek Ἑβραῖος (Hebraîos, “Hebrew, Jew”), probably through Aramaic Aramaic עִבְרַי (ʿiḇray, “Hebrew”), from Biblical Hebrew עִבְרִי (ʿiḇrî, “Hebrew”). The origin of the Hebrew ethnonym is uncertain. It is traditionally connected with עֵבֶר (ʿēḇer, “the other side, beyond”), perhaps in the sense “one from the other side [of the river]”; a proposed connection with the ancient Near Eastern term Habiru is disputed. Compare Norwegian Nynorsk hebrear, Danish hebræer, Swedish hebré and English Hebrew (“member of the Hebrew people”).
