Daniel, we don’t really get Palestine as a named area until the fourth or fifth century. The gospels would’ve been written in Roman territory.

Matt Sommeone :
Ματθαίος (Matthew) is Semitic and translates to "gift from God" and would translate to Greek equivalent in meaning "Dorotheos" (Δωρόθεος) or "Theodoros" (Θεόδωρος). interesting that different cultures have similar in meaning names. "Theodora" name( in female form) is actually one of most ancients names still in use (I think the oldest in use same age as Alexandra). it goes back to Greek Mycenaean civilization (mentioned in linear b tablets 13th BCE)

That's pretty cool! In Malayalam we say Markose, Lukose, Matthai, and Yohannan. I believe they were loaned from Syriac.

1st century region but using a 5th century name. Sounds like modern politics is blurring accuracy here.
