Help[Facts] Re: Why are so many biblical names rarely used in continental Europe, unlike English-speaking countries?
in reply to a message by SugarPlumFairy
"Only in the UK are Old Testament biblical names traditionally used (and still not by the Royal Family) — this is the case of the names mentioned by OP, who was questioning why these names aren’t used in continental Europe."
But they are used in continental Europe.
Jonathan/Nathan, Benjamin, Samuel, Daniel, Aaron, Jeremias, Adam, Jakob, David, Michael, Emanuel/Immanuel ... have a long tradition in Germany.
