Devoted-Mount

Morphological NotesProper masculine singular noun (HNp). The -וֹן (-ōn) ending forms a place-name. Used consistently as a singular geographic designation.
Rendering RationaleThe name חֶרְמוֹן (Chermōn) derives from the root חרם, which conveys the idea of devotion or placing something under a sacred ban. Rendering it as "Devoted-Mount" preserves the root sense of consecration or sacred restriction while reflecting its function as a singular proper noun referring to a specific mountain.
