    Mine is Greek. I'm not sure if it traces back to Hebrew. It is a Christian name, yes, but a Greek name applied to Christianity.

    Jesus was called Yeshua bin Yusef, Jesus Christ is a Greek name. Christos is Greek for "anointed" and I don't think it's Hebrew.

    I own a typical roman latin name-Valerio, which means strong and beautiful as I am.

    Yeah, khristos is the Greek translation of the original Hebrew masiah (hence 'Messiah'), meaning "anointed."

    My name (Peter) is of course an important one in Christianity but it's origins are I-E; Latin 'petra' or Greek 'petros' meaning rock or stone.

    Sounds more like Turkish than anything Nordic/Germanic.

    My name is Celtic and so are the names of my children, although I have siblings, nephews and nieces who have semitic names.
