Comments (Meaning / History Only)
There is a modern interpretation of the name as an acronym to the Yom Kippur War. Written in Hebrew it would be Mem-Yod-Heh (Milhemet Yom Hakippurim) as opposed to the usual Mem-Aleph-Yod-Heh. The English transcipt, I suppose, would stay the same. Many modern day Jewish Mayas carry this intended patriotic meaning (and spelling) of the name.
