Re: SYNOnames
just a Q but is Isa a common name for Muslim children? Like Muhammad is?
Most christians won't name their child Jesus except for Latins, but they' pronounce it "Hay-soos".
Re: SYNOnames
Some Purtagees , call mother of Jesus "Fatima"

To John we can include ... Yan, Ian, Ioannis (Greek) and the female equivalents ...
Jane, Janis, Joan, Joanna, Jan(both genders), Jannette
Claus is also short for Nickolaus, Nick stems from that ... St. Nicholos was Santa Claus ... Sant = Saint .
John
To clarify ... Yahya is not the linguistic equivalent of John ... In Arabic Bibles, they translate John to Yuhanna ... Jaheja might be the Greek for it, but it was never done in that way.
