Names of Jerusalem refers to the multiple names by which the city of Jerusalem has been known and the etymology of the word in different languages.
Today, Jerusalem is called Yerushalayim (Hebrew: ืึฐืจืึผืฉึธืืึทืึดื) and Al-Quds (Arabic: ุงูููููููุฏูุณ).
Yerushalayim is a derivation of a much older name, recorded as early as in the Middle Bronze Age, which has however been repeatedly re-interpreted in folk etymology, notably in Biblical Greek, where the first element of the name came to be associated with Greek: แผฑฮตฯฯฯ (hieros, "holy").
The city is also known especially among religious-minded Muslims as Bayt al-Maqdis (Arabic: ุจูููููุช ุงูููู
ูููููุฏูุณ, lit. 'Holy House'), referring to the Temple in Jerusalem, called Beit HaMikdash in Hebrew.
