The study investigates linguistic reasons and the history of the transformation of biblical proper names necessitated by their transfer and transliteration from Hebrew and Aramaic into Greek, Latin and other ancient languages. The absence of some letters and sounds in Greek and Latin was the main reason for many phonetic changes in the transfer of the names from the original languages. In addition to this, translators and copyists could not easily reach a uniform phonetic system because the consonantal Hebrew itself allowed variations in spelling of names.
