The English and Middle English word cherub(e) is derived from (the  form of cherūbīm, cherūbīn), from, ultimately from. Because it was not always clear from Bible passages whether a single being or group of beings was being referred to, cherubin was used both as a singular word (plural ) and plural word up to the 18th century. However, in Bible translations particularly from the 16th century onward cherub began to be favoured as the singular form, and from the 17th century cherubim as the plural form (influenced by 🇨🇬).

The English word is cognate with 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬 (modern 🇨🇬), 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬.
