I'm sorry to have to take issue with the rabbi, but "John" is derived from Yôḥānān, short for יהוחנן Yəhôḥānān, meaning "Yahweh has been gracious [or 'has shown favor']." (The German name Johann is a bit closer to the original.)   It is NOT the same name as "Jonathan" (except for those who in more recent times have created the name "Jon" AS a nickname for Jonathan).  \n\nNote that "Jo" is not "God" (for which the Hebrew uses El or the "plural of majesty", "Elohim").  It is from "Ja/Yah/Yahu", the short form of the personal name of God in Hebrew (widely thought to be "Yahweh", traditionally considered very sacred and so replaced by "the LORD" [Hebrew, "Adonai"] to avoid speaking it).\n\nA related Hebrew name in that of the prophet Samuel's mother - "Hannah" [ḥānā], "gracious"(see 1 Samuel 1-2).  The name John also points to one of the most important proclamations of the Old Testament, that the LORD (Yahweh) is a "gracious" God who has shown his people grace/favor (see especially Exodus 34:6, whose expressions are echoed in many other places).  \n\nIncidentally, Hebrew names like Jonathan ["Yahweh has given"] and John ["Yahweh has been gracious"], and many others are "sentence names".  They make some confessional statement about God, and/or may be related to the circumstances of the child's birth.  These two names, for instance, would be very appropriate for a LONG-awaited child.  It is, in fact, precisely the circumstance of the birth of John the Baptist to the elderly Zechariah and Elizabeth [Luke 1]\n\n------------------\n\n"William" (as already noted) is originally a Germanic name, meaning something like "valiant protector".  Its popularity in English owed much to "William the Conqueror" (1066).  Actually, the Conqueror's name (and so our "William") does NOT come directly from the Germanic form of the name (which would be "Wilhelm")but from the Norman French form (from Old French) Guillaume.   Also, the "helm" part is related to the word "helmet" and might more literally refer to that object used for protection rather than just the abstract idea of protection.   At any rate, it is a name given to a warrior-leader who is regarded as the helmet/protection of a group of people.\n\nThe addition of an -s to form a surname is a common practice in English to indicate a "DESCENDANT of William" (In other words, adding an 's' to form a surname is essentially the same as adding "son" as in "Williamson", etc.)

The boy's name Abbas is of Hebrew and Arabic origin, and its meaning is "father; stern, somber." In Arabic, this name is used to refer to a lion, equivalent to referring to the king of the beasts as Leo in the English-speaking world. One of Muhammad's uncles was named Abbas. Judaism and Islam demonstrate their common roots in this name. Israeli statesman Abba Eban.

Josh is short for Joshua, which in hebrew is Yahoshua. Yahoshua means "Yahweh is salvation" or "Yahweh saves." Joshua is English for Yahoshua. Many will tell you it means Yehoshua in hebrew but that what judaism says. they took the prefix Yah out for Yeh so that no can pronouce the name Yah which is short for Yahweh, bc they say that it was to divine. Yehoshua means "God saves" but which God, without the divine name of Yah in the name it has no HOLY meaning. So the correct translation of Joshua is Yahoshua because Yahweh is Salvation.

boy ive been looking for this question all day now , i tried to answer it when it was 1st posted but i got "knocked "off line?!?!? anyway i spend a lot of time in v.n.  the only time you see a direct translation of a western name is when  catholics take a common saints name  for confirmation and "vietnamify" it. paul becomes "Paolo".. its so they can pronounce it and it may just even be french or Italian ..ANYWAY there is no direct translation for Cecilia... but i can give you the closed thing and that would be, "CHI" pronounced "CHEE?"[ with a questioning sound , v.n. is very tonal]. its a pretty common girls name and means older sister... this would be an appropriate name for a first born girl... a you a 1st born?... i'm realy curious to know why you ask ... if i'm not intruding, my site name means "mr jon"... thats what they call me even though my name is joe?!?!?

I think you might mean the Spanish word for my daughter which comes from "mi" and "hija." YOu don't pronounce the h. And the "j" is pronounced like an "h." And when the first word ends with the same sound that the next word begins with, you combine it into one sound. So "mi" "iha" ends up sounding like "miha."

Bar-Abbas,  according to tradition, had for his first name "Jesus." His name means, "The Savior, Son of the Father". The Romans thought it good to offer them a pick of the 2 Jesus' "The Savior, King of the Jews" or the other. The irony of the two Jesus' fits well with the story. A Jesus who was of the Father, or One Who would be their King. Some historians bear out this tale, but it has been sent to "Tradition," for lack of Biblical confirmation.
