English term or phrase: wood or forest

How do I translate the feminine form of the latin word Sylva to Hebrew? Sylva means wood, forest?

Sylvia Nelson

Ya-ar ... or Xoresh. These are masculine words. The feminine Hebrew wd "Ya-a-rah" means Honeycomb

Explanation:
Sylvia. If you want to translate your name into Hebrew , call yourself "Ya-a-rah" (Yod, ayeen, resh, heh). Ya-ar means Forest and Ya-arah means - Honeycomb. But the Honeycomb word is hardly used and the word Ya-a-rah evinces a forest in the mind.

Thank you for your help with my question and for the prompt reply. I think I'd like to evince a thought of honey with my name, rather than an expansive grove of trees. :-)
