ArchivesRe: Additional Info About Girl Name, Jubilee...
in reply to a message by LMS
Its adoption as a name is more closely tied to
The Jewish "Year of Jubilee" in which all debts were canceled, all slaves were freed and all family lands were restored.
"Celebration, rejoicing" or "any season or occasion of rejoicing or festivity" are derivative of that event.
From the Middle French jubile, from the Latin jubilare meaning 'to shout or sing out joyfully' or 'rejoice' is redundant to the added etymology.
Also, "..., from Hebrew yôbêl [lit. trumpet-blast]" would be a better conclusion to the etymology sequence.
P.S.: I submitted these proposed changes, if you are looking for a shortened version of my previous submission.
