My comment:

Khofesh- (Also like freedom)
Zekhut - (as for right)
Reshut- (As permission,
authorization)
Also Atzmaut (Freedom)
I can send you the words in a .PDF file if you do not have Hebrew fonts.

Atzmaut is NOT, repeat NOT, freedom: it's INDEPENDENCE. Zekhut is NOT freedom, except in some convoluted legalistic connotations. Reshut is NOT freedom, except in some convoluted legalistic connotations. Why are you misleading the asker?

Liberty is all of the above: Khofesh, zekhut, Reshut and Atzmaut. Indeed not all is freedom. Please stop writing and start reading for a change. Also, unlike you, I did not invent answers, I have taken the time and effort and have registered the sources, so that the asker can verify the answer. The question was: "Translation of Liberty from English to Hebrew". Not translation of "Freedom"!

Huff and puff all you like. However, if you actually READ the question - something you did NOT do, even though you accuse me of your own failing - you would have noticed that it does NOT say "Translation of Liberty from English to Hebrew" but "translate the NAME liberty from english to hebrew". Are you proposing to call someone 'Zekhut' or 'Reshut'? What utter nonsense. You are evidently incapable of understanding the concept of CONTEXT in translating. Looking up a word in a dictionary and indiscriminately listing every single term in the target language, whether or not the least bit relevant, is not translating: it's laziness. You impress nobody by showing off how many dictionaries you have. Those of us who actually understand what translating is about, do not need to run to a dictionary to translate a basic word like this: we know what the translation is because we know the relevant languages. Clearly, you do not.

Dear John, I indeed translated the NAME "Liberty". It can be a NAME of a novel, a name of a ship, a name of a book. There was no reference to a person. Your personal knowledge is great, wonderful. My mother tongue is Hebrew as well, but I still go to check if there are other options that I may have overlooked - like "Atzmaut" that only Alcalay Dictionary suggested. About suggestion: I am moving on and closing this chapter. Best wishes and regards to the asker. I will privately suggest to her what is the best solution for her particular entry, if she wishes. Kinory Have a great day.

Novels (or books, which effectively is the same thing anyway) don't have 'names': they have titles. The fact that you transfer the Hebrew term literally to English (something known as faux ami) suggests that you don't feel sufficiently comfortable with at least one of these 2 languages. From the context, we are talking about names, not titles. Are you planning to call a ship (or for that matter, a novel with the title 'Liberty') 'Reshut' or 'Zekhut'? ROFL. Atzmaut is wrong. Full stop.

Kherut çøåú

My comment:

Liberty is Kherut, and is used in Hebrew as a female (mostly) name.

Another option is Dror ãøåø, which is mostly a male name.

Liberty written in Hebrew characters is ìéáøèé

Freedom is usually translated as khofesh çåôù, but there is some overlap.
