    My first name is in the Bible, but it seems to be Greek in origin. I would much prefer to have an indigenous name from Western or Northern Europe.

    My name is Paul. My brother, John. In Assyrian-Aramaic Paul becomes Paulus. John becomes Yochana.

    Some of your names may simply be Germanized and such, it doesn't mean they aren't variations of Semitic names. As for just Biblical male names: Justin, Isaac, David, Michael, Aaron, Levi, Gabriel, Josh, Zack, Adam, Mark, Matthew, Caleb, Eli, Johan/John, Ethan, James, Joseph, Philip, Thomas are some of the most common names in the U.S.

    In Latin America and many parts of Europe, people mostly have similar names but localized.

    My actual given name is James, which is derived from the Hebrew Ya'aqov (Jacob), or "he who supplants," by way of the Greek Iakobos. So, yes. My parents' names are also both derived from biblical Hebrew names - my sister's is Anglo-Saxon in origin, however.

    Pavel - as a boy's name is a variant of Paul (Latin)
    It's mostly used in Russia, Poland and Bulgaria. I don't like it because it's connected to the Orthodox Christianity and I am not christian .

    Guess you don't like being Bulgarian either, since it's connected with Orthodox Christianity and you're not a Christian. Maybe you should immigrate to that lovely pagan nation in Europe.. but wait! There isn't one. I wonder why? Oh yea! Europe's Christian. Doh!
