Beginning in the classical period, the singular form {{Lang|he-Latn|kippur}} began to be used in [[piyyut]], for example in [[Unetanneh Tokef]], alongside the standard plural form {{Lang|he-Latn|kippurim}}. Use of {{Lang|he-latn|kippur}} spread in the medieval period, with {{Lang|yi-Latn|Yom Kippur}} ({{lang|yi|יום כיפור}}) becoming the holiday's name in [[Yiddish]] and {{Lang|lad-Latn|Kippur}} ({{lang|lad|כיפור}}) in [[Judaeo-Spanish|Ladino]]. In modern Hebrew, {{Lang|he-Latn|Yom Kippur}} or simply {{Lang|he-Latn|Kippur}} is the common name, while {{Lang|he-Latn|Yom HaKippurim}} ({{lang|he|יום הכיפורים}}) is used in formal writing.<ref name=ha/>

In older English texts, the translation "Day of Atonement" is often used.<ref>{{cite web |title=Yom Kippur 5784 |url=https://www.sbs.com.au/language/hebrew/en/article/yom-kippur-5784/r5wnqiuea |publisher=[[SBS Australia]] |access-date=August 26, 2024 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Yom Kippur - Day of Atonement |url=https://www.hebrew4christians.com/Holidays/Fall_Holidays/Yom_Kippur/yom_kippur.html#loaded |website=Hebrew for Christians |access-date=August 26, 2024}}</ref>
