Jericho Meaning

From the name of a city in Israel which is mentioned several times in the Old Testament. The meaning of the city's name is uncertain, but it may be related to the Hebrew word (yareach) meaning "moon", or otherwise to the Hebrew word (reyach) meaning "fragrant". Jericho is a Hebrew name which means "city of fragrance". Jericho was the name of the city that Joshua, a character in the Bible, brought down by blowing trumpets.
