ArchivesName update #116
The names on this website have been updated. While there were many new names added, there was a heavy focus on making improvements to existing entries.
- better transcriptions of Arabic, Persian, and Sanskrit name elements
- lots of new pronunciations added (with help from users sekejap, guasguendi and Lucille)
- Old Testament Hebrew names and New Testament Greek names link to the appropriate entry in Strong's lexicon
- Ancient Greek names link to the entry on the Lexicon of Greek Personal Names website
- better write-ups for names from Hindu tradition

Thanks for all your work!
I have a question on one of the updated surnames.
What's the reason for adding Kazloŭ, Kazlova, Kazlow as Belarusian forms of Ivanov, if Ivanov means "son of Ivan" (Russian form of Iohannes, "Yahweh is gracious")
and Kazloŭ is derived from Belarusian казёл (kaziol) meaning "male goat"?

This is a mistake. There was an errant connection between Kazlow and Ivan. Unfortunately this sort of error can't be easily fixed without regenerating all the relations since it affects so many names. I'll do an update sooner rather than later to correct this.

Thank you for the clarification, Mike.
Also, I've noticed that the pronunciation of the surnames Volkov and Volkova is listed incorrectly. In fact, the stress in them falls on the first syllable.

Eiran, Tirtzah and Tzivyah were merged into Eran, Tirtza and Tzivya.
Heroidias and Heroidion were defective spellings (better realized as Herodias and Herodion, which were already included).
Imram was a mistake for Imran.
Hisein and Mis'id were listed as variants of Husain and Musad, but these were not found to be very usual transcriptions.
