Oj, så många! ;)I didn't find so many...Romualdo (Spanish. Var. of Ronaldo?) --- No, Romualdo is an Italian form of the Old German name Rummwald: “fame” + “to rule”, while Ronaldo is an Italian form of the Old German name Reginwald: “resolution, counsel” + “to rule”Adissu (Ethiopia) --- maybe a form of Yoruba Adisa “clear”???Yan (China) --- maybe a form of Yang “sun” or Jian “strong, healthy” or Yong “brave” or Yun “soldier”???Yasuke (Japan) --- maybe a form of Yasuo “calm”???Assaf --- maybe a form of Asaf “collector”Mirta (Spanish) --- maybe a Spanish form of the Greek name Myrta ”bitter”???Enikö (Hungarian. Var. of Aniko?) --- hmmm…. Sounds like a reasonable guess!Hana --- maybe a form of Hebrew Hannah?Pei Lan (China) --- I don’t know Pei, but Lan means “orchidee” (flower)Xiang Yi (ditto) --- Xiang = “good smelling”, Yi = “sun” (???)Prembai (India) --- The Prem-part means “love”, but I don’t know the meaning of –bai…Robina (ditto) --- maybe a variant of Robin, English form of Old German Roberta “fame” + “shining, famous”Hoppas det hjälpte liiiite i alla fall...

I read about a possible link between Hebrew and Japanese language. (Do a search on "lost tribes Japan" and you will see what I am talking about. Anyway, to me Yasuo sounds almost identical to the Hebrew name Yashua, (Joshua) which is also the name of Jesus (usually spelled Yeshua in English to represent the Hebrew name meaning "salvation".)
Has anyone heard of this possible connection?
