The name that is transliterated as “Chorazin” in English means “a furnace of smoke.” (Source: Cornwall / Smith 1997 )

In Libras (Brazilian Sign Language) it is translated with a sign that combines the signs for “close to Capernaum ” and “river” because of the location in proximity to Capernaum and a river. (Source: Missão Kophós )
