The word is rendered by the Greek "proselyte" as used in the Septuagint to denote a "stranger."[citation needed] A male convert to Judaism is referred to by the Hebrew word ger (Hebrew: גר‎, plural Hebrew: גרים‎ gerim) and a female convert is a giyoret. In all branches of Judaism, a ger or giyoret is considered a full Jew; the literal meaning of "stranger," "resident," or "foreigner" refers to the convert's origin, not present status.[citation needed] In Karaite Judaism the term ger only refers to a non-Jew who has yet to fully convert to Judaism, and once converted to Karaitism, is no longer called ger.[9]
