    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
