All of the apostles names in the gospels except Judas are common names in the U.S and they were all Jews.I realize that their names are translated  from Hebrew, Aramaic, or Greek down to English.Yet many Jewish names in the gospels did not make this transition to common English names. If the high priest at the time of Jesus was named Jacob(James) and one of the apostles was named Caiaphas would an Americanized version of the name Caiaphas be common in the United States?
