A Number of people have taken to Twitter to share their take on the name under the hashtag #FacebookDead.
The Emergency rescue volunteers Zaka even got involved, telling their followers on Twitter: " Don't worry, we're on it".
In Hebrew, *Meta* means *Dead*
The Jewish community will ridicule this name for years to come.
Another Twitter user said: " Thank You for providing all Hebrew speakers a good reason to laugh. "
