HelpRe: international name
in reply to a message by Francisinfp5w4
I suppose biblical names are used in all countries with a Christian and/or Jewish population. And possibly not with a religious message: my fn and mn are both originally biblical, but my fn was chosen because my mother liked it and my mn was my paternal grandmother's mn.

It depends on which versions are used in the most languages maybe? Like Maria seems more international than Mary and Maryam.
All three of them are used throughout the English-speaking world, though. Some more than others, but fashions change.
