[Facts] Greek equivalent to RENATUS?

RENATUS, as far as I can see, is obviously taken from the Latin bible (1. Peter 1,23). Was there an earlier equivalent in Greek? Based on the Christian idea of being "born again"? Some other idea? Or maybe reincarnation? What about other languages and cultures?

Wouldn't that be Anastasios or Atanasio?

Renatus

That would be "resurrected" - not quite the same thing.
But thanks anyway!

I was a little too fast. Sorry! (t)

What I said, refers to the Christian use of the words. But on a non-Christian background you may be right.
