No, the first letter in Russian is a Х, but making it an English H would make it silent by itself.
Ah, got it! And although the H wouldn't've been silent anyway, what you ended up going with is probably a closer match to transliterating convention, so, not totally off the wall...
And it *would* make sense for it to be Hebrew based -- neat that you can actually track it down to the three-consonant root! (whatever it would've had to mean then :)
