      The Bible was famously translated to English during the Reformation.

      Previously (mix of Aramaic and Greek here, you can pick one for either, plus I haven’t included their epithets. Like how nowadays we’re known as Firstname Lastname, at the time you’d have a family name and if you were famous, an epithet like Timos of Athens)

      • Simon Peter: Shimoun Bar Younah
      • Andrew: Andreás
      • James Greater: Iacobus
      • John: Iohannes
      • Phillip: Philippos
      • Bartholomew: Bartholomaios
      • Thomas: Toma
      • Matthew: Matisyahu
      • James Lesser: Yaqub
      • Judas Thaddeus: Yahwada
      • Simon: Sumeon or Simo
