ArchivesRe: Latin forms of Hebrew names
in reply to a message by Miss Claire
These are the names used in the Vulgata, a Latin bible translation started by Hieronymus in the 4th century; this has been the official Latin bible of the Roman Catholic church since the 16th century.
Miriam > Maria
Sarah > Sarra
Rachel > Rahel
Lea > Lia
Asenath > Aseneth
Shlomit > Salumith (both f. and m.)
Salome > Salome
Moshe > Moses
Other forms may have been used elsewhere, I don’t know.
