Right...that would depend on the country the holy man/woman is from. You can look for the meanings in websites for baby names.Originally posted by Icemoon:you mean biblical names from hebrew words or phrases bah?
i'm asking christian names.
It's quite a common name in the Spanish-speaking regions, and is pronounced as 'hay-soos'.Originally posted by laurence82:Once i saw, on the after a show, someone called Jesus something something.....
Err... I think it's pronounce hay-zu.... All names starting with "J" are pronounced with "H". Actually our national flower should be pronounced as "Hua-kim" not Jo-kim.Originally posted by Kuali Baba:It's quite a common name in the Spanish-speaking regions, and is pronounced as 'hay-soos'.

We can be more humble and choose Peter.Originally posted by ccck:haha... choose names that are prophetic la... names reflect our purpose. like how God changed jacob's name to Israel which means to struggle with God. n it was prophetic! wahahaha...![]()
yah, like my name, laurence...Originally posted by Chin Eng:The correct term is not Christian/Biblical names - it is Anglicised name.
When we state something as being a Christian/Biblical name, we mean that the name is derived from the Bible.
An Anglicised name, on the other hand, means that one wants to take on an angmoh-type name totally disregarding the origin.
I know of radical pastors who think their members should not use names honouring Greek/Roman gods, like Diana or June.
Because in Latin the name is 'Jesu Christe' (Ye-su Krees-tay)Originally posted by Icemoon:how come the pronunciation is like the chinese "yes soo"?![]()
I'm not privy as to how Armenian names are pronounced, but I'm sure 'J' isn't be pronounced as 'H' there.Originally posted by Chin Eng:Err... I think it's pronounce hay-zu....

It's not Armenian, it's either Portuguese or Spanish. Another example will be the Californian desert region of Baja, famous for off-road racing. The pronounciation is BAHA.Originally posted by Kuali Baba:I'm not privy as to how Armenian names are pronounced, but I'm sure 'J' isn't be pronounced as 'H' there.
