I love the stuff you bring here. It can be like an oasis of sorts, a most welcome diversion from other stress inducing information otherwise covered on this site.
aaaaannnnn, it's inner-estin'. Always.

I guess huck you mean that we transliterate a name into English. That's true. And it's true for most languages. Take John, in English.
In Hebrew it is Yohanan, in Greek Ioannes as in Latin.
But if you look in Italy it is Giovanni, in German Johan or Hans, in Scandanavia and Poland Jan or Ivan, in Irish Sean, in French Jean, in Magyar Janos

Mark, Marcus is specifically Latin name, given after Marcus, the Roman god of war. St. Mark the Evangelist's Hebrew name was in all probability John and Mark used as surname, see Acts 12:12. See also
Wiki and
Catholic Encyclopedia Luke, Lucas, is Greek, and St. Luke was Greek by origin, so it is probably the actual name of the Evangelist.
