Archives"Yahya" is not Arabic for "John"
"Yahya" is what muslims call John the Baptist but it is not a form of "Yochanan". "Yahya" means "to live" and an entirely different name from John, Same person =/= Same name meanings. The actual Arabic equivalent is "Youhana" or "يوحنا" as prevalent by saint John of Damascus an John Maron in which there are pronounced as "Youhana" by Arabic speakers, not "Yahya". Please make this change.
