SIBI-P1 H3305-01

Beautiful (City)

Morphological NotesProper noun (HNp); singular place-name; derived from the adjectival/verbal root יפה ("to be beautiful").
Rendering RationaleThe name יָפוֹ (Yāfô) derives from the root יפה (y-p-h), meaning "to be beautiful" or "fair." As a proper noun (HNp), it functions as a singular place-name; rendering it "Beautiful (City)" preserves both its root meaning and its grammatical identity as a singular proper noun.
