[Facts] Re: Jewish names in anglosphere
Some people also translate the Hebrew names and give an English name with similar meaning - it is convenient that Benedict has the identical initial plus meaning to Baruch ("blessed") but Leo and similar lion names can also be for Aryeh ("lion"). Felicity could be used for the Yiddish Freyde ("joy")and so on.
