Tyre ,
Tyre is the Latin name for the famous Phoenician city often mentioned together with Sidon. Famous Tyrians are Hiram, the builder of the temple of Solomon, and Jezebel the wife of king Ahab.
The Semitic, and thus original, name for Tyre is pronounced Zor or Zur. In Biblical Hebrew this name looks exactly like words coming off the (1897-1901) and (1973-1975) root-groups.
See the relate name Mizraim for an extensive treatment of these root-groups. See the similar name Zur for possible implied meanings of the Biblical name of Tyre.
