<p><font size="2" color="navy" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">For "Makarios" I disagree. Unfortunately
'makarios' in the Beatitudes has been translated in all older and
some modern English translations by "blessed", But it is a
congratulatory formula "to be congratulated/envied are those who" (à
la rigueur "Happy/fortunate are those who" might work). "makarios"
and "beatus" correspond.</span></font></p>

Greek origin with the first syllable Theo- exist in a number of European
languages. You mention 'Bog-' for Russian and 'Gott-" for German. In
German and English there are number of these first names which are probably
rare today like "Gottfried/Godfrey" (God-peace), Traugott

<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>
