>>>BTW, it would be quite interesting to spot these classic names (both Greek and Hebrew) as they progress through other languages. For instance, Schmuel - Ismail - Samuilo - Samuel, or Stephan - Štefan - Stevan - Stepa(n) - Stipe - Stipica - Steven - István (ishtvahn, nickname Pista - pishtah) - Esteban - Estevao (is that proper Portuguese?). Or John - Jochann(es), Jean, Giovanni, Jovan, János, Janošik, Jano, Ion(el/ut), Janko, Ivan, Juan, James (is it the same name?).

>>I didn't know Ismail and Samuel same names. We use Ismail. I thought Adam and Adem (We use that name) same names too.

>I'm not sure that Ismail and Samuel are the same, though they come from the same root word meaning "listen." I assume that Ismail is the modern Arabic version of Ishmael, the first son of Abraham.
Yes. That's not english pronounce. That's turkish typing. I think so english type like you said Ishmael...
