Dear Nahid-

The ח' (ḥet + apostrophe) is intended to show that the name is
خلیفة with a خ (and not *حلیفة with a ح).
I would Romanize it Ḥ'alifah to reflect the original ח' (ḥet + apostrophe).
Hope this helps!
Best,
MLChyet

What should be the authorized form of the name of an Arab writing in Hebrew, when the cover also has the name in Arabic? This related to the book by עלי ח'ליפה . Should the Hebrew form be Romanized as Ḥ'alifah, ʻAli ? ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍ ‍

The Arabic would be Khalīfah, ʻAlī Ṣāliḥ
There is also a Romanized form of the name: Ali Khalefa.

Thanks,

Rachel
