If you’re wondering if Facebook’s new name is a joke, you’re not alone. The name “Meta” has been mocked all over social media. While the name itself does not have any Jewish connotations, it sounds like the Hebrew word for “dead”. Dr. Nirit Weiss-Blatt, a tech expert and member of the Jewish community, wrote a Twitter message to Facebook’s communications team to explain why this name is problematic.

Meta means “dead” in Hebrew
In Hebrew, the word “meta” means “dead.” In addition to being a funny name, Meta sounds like the word “beyond,” a hints at Facebook’s larger vision. The name has also inspired some mockery in Israel, where images of Facebook’s name superimposed on a grave have become viral. What’s next for Meta? Who knows, but it could be a very big deal.
The Jewish community has already reacted with mockery to Facebook’s name change. While the name is short and memorable, many users in Israel will still question why the social network chose such a rudimentary name. The Hebrew word for “dead” sounds feminine and therefore a bit more fitting for a social network. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has defended the name change, calling the new name “Facebook” a “metaverse” – a shared virtual space that reflects the company’s focus on the metaverse.
As far as the new name goes, there are several things to consider. First, the Hebrew word for “dead” is derived from the Greek prefix meta-, which means after. Meta refers to something beyond the word, so “f-face” isn’t appropriate. Secondly, the Hebrew word for “dead” is derived from the feminine form of the same word, Meta.
As a side note, Facebook’s name change is not an accident. Mark Zuckerberg changed the name of Facebook to Meta as part of a push to expand its business portfolio by developing a virtual world, called the “metaverse.” This new name doesn’t change the established Facebook service, which has been around since 2008. But Israeli users are asking whether Zuckerberg knew the meaning of the word before changing it.
Meta is also the name of a tripartite
Facebook’s new name, Meta, is making some Jewish speakers very upset. The word “Meta” means “dead” in Hebrew, and the Jewish community is going to continue to mock it for years to come. But the new name isn’t completely without merit. Facebook’s Hebrew roots are deeply embedded in the company’s DNA, and the name is actually a more feminine version of the word “metaverse.”
The word “meta” derives from the Greek word metas, meaning “after,” indicating something beyond the word. Meta is also the name of a tripartite. In the Hebrew language, “meta” means “is dead” or “is beyond the word.”
The new name of Facebook is “Meta,” which is Hebrew for “dead.” Like the word itself, meta reflects the company’s attempts to transcend the world of social media. But why does Meta sound like “dead?”
In Greek, the word “meta” means “beyond,” and it acts as a prefix for referring to self-referential works of art. This concept is similar to Facebook’s efforts to create a “metaverse” that will encompass the entire company’s future efforts. While Facebook has not launched a product that reflects this concept, it does know that it has to move in that direction.
The concept of the “metaverse” has multiple meanings. For example, anything digitized could be a “metaverse.” For example, books, games, and smart glasses would be “metaverses.” And Facebook has partnered with Ray-Ban to develop the technology behind these smart glasses. The company wants the technology to be so ubiquitous, it will transcend social media.
