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.
