Hebrew

Etymology

Possibly from the base אנה.

Pronunciation

Noun

יוֹנָה (yonáf (plural indefinite יוֹנִים, singular construct יוֹנַת־, plural construct יוֹנֵי־)

  1. dove, pigeon
    • אביתר בנאי, אבא
      יונתי בחגווי הסלע
      השמיעיני את קולך
  2. dove (pacifist)

Usage notes

  • Unlike English, which makes a distinction between doves and pigeons who constitute the same bird family – Columbidae, generally attributing positive attributes to the former and negative to the latter, Hebrew does not.

Proper noun

יוֹנָה (yonám or f

  1. (deprecated use of |lang= parameter) a male or female given name, Yona or Yonah, equivalent to English Jonah.
