Fritz,<br><br>Of course most or all Jewish languages (live or extinct, they are about two dozen) have name Barukh or Mevorakh. Many Semitic languages have equivalents of Hebrew Barukh or Arabic Muba(r)rak. Nevertheless most of Biblical names are theophorical by nature (pay attantion for initial Yo- or Yeho- or suffix-like -el, -ahu).<br>
It seems to me that in some European languages the semantic equivalents are of slightly different etimology: a type of "given by God" [Theodor(e), Fe(o)dor, Bogdan] or "loved by God" [like Gottlieb].<br>
<br>I hope, this helps,<br><br>Hayim Sheynin <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jan 22, 2009 at 10:40 AM, Fritz Goerling <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:Fritz_Goerling@sil.org">Fritz_Goerling@sil.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>
