The point is essentially this: whatever the name of the Antichrist will be in Hebrew, the numerical value will be 666.

Does the fact that the prophecy was written originally in Greek, not Hebrew.... have any bearing on anything? [Revelation 13:18]

An excellent point. I couldn't tell you whether the Greeks had a similar approach as Hebrews numerology. Have you heard of one?

Although the Revelation was written in Greek all of the symbolism iof the "Jewish Scriptures" is retained.

But a very good question, nonetheless.
