Re: Pashtun/Persian name Masi
Hello,
a friendly busdriver of mine is named Masih. He is from Iran and explained his name like this: Mashi in Farsi -> Messiah -> Christus -> Christian in German, so the German version of his name would be Christian.
That's no scientific explanation but I still hope it helps :).
