Here is a Latinized Judean. Marcus or his Greek name Mark in Biblical Greek
Μαρκος. To my knowledge the Judeans had no transliteration for this Latin name. Also Aquila (which means eagle) another Latinized Roman Judean who has no equivalent in Hebrew. But my question to the Hebrew Roots people is why? Why all these Hellenized Judeans running around while everything was supposed to be so ultra orthodox and kosher?

Another question would be how many Judeans or Hebrews in the Bible were named Adam? Therefore making Ἀνδρέας another Greek only name?

Does anyone have the Aramaic or Hebrew original for this Ancient Greek name?

De acuerdo a la Biblia no hay otro nombre mas arriba de todo nombre que el de nuestro salvador.

asi que esto que predicamos si es importante.

Quizas a ti no te importe el nombre de nuestro Salvador, pero yo como fiel seguidor de Jesus quiero saber su verdadero nombre.

Fiel, eh? Guess we found out who the mero mero seguidor really is. Or we could just trust him and not waste time on this nonsense. More time for eating bacon with sinners.

Si el nombre de Yeshua no es importante entonces de que sirve bautizar en su nombre, por que tanto pleito con los trinitarios si el nombre no es importante.

entonces no debe de importarte si ellos bautizan en el nombre del Padre, del Hijo y del Espiritu santo, siendo que para ti el nombre no es importante.

Entonces Deben de desperdiciar el tiempo en esta necedad del bautismo en el nombre, pues para que, major engordemonos comiendo tocino.

Do you think I don't speak English? You and I aren't the only ones discussing here.

My issue is the emphasis on the NAME over the person of Jesus Christ. This is an issue with Oneness Pentecostals in general (not all, of course) but you're taking it a step further. Scripture bears out that the name is important, of course. Of course. But all these semantics about what he was called in Hebrew do nothing to point us toward our Savior. And you might even find the wrong guy and start worshipping him in your quest to find a hebrew name.
