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.

the funny part is, that the way we use them in German (Matthäus, Markus, Lukas, Johannes) is a lot closer the their greek version, than the english abreviation😅

in Swedish these names are actually more like the original names than they are in English. Matteus, Markus, Lukas and Johannes

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)

it's interesting, in danish we still have Mathias, Markus, Lukas, and Johan, as common boys name's. While the English versions of the names are never used here

They lived in first century Judea. The Romans didn't rename Judea to Syria Palaestina until 135-136 CE

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.
