Thank you. By the way, does anyone know how to write my name "Faizal Yunus Ibrahim" in Greek letters? I'ver tried but got stuck because I didn't know what is the Greek letter for "Y". For "Faizal", would it be "Φαιζαλ"? And what will "Ibrahim" be?

It's Φαϊζάλ Γιουνούς Ιμπραχίμ. The digraph "αι" is pronounced /e/ in modern Greek, so the "ι" needs to be distinguished as "ϊ". The stress marks are mandatory. While the letter "Γ" is normally pronounced like the Arabic غ (gh), before "ι" it gets palatalized into something resembling "y". The letter combination "μπ" represents the sound /b/ in modern Greek.

Why didn't use "Ιβραχίμ" for "Ibrahim"? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

The letter β is pronounced [v] in modern Greek. I suppose if you were to spell it according to Classical Attic Greek spelling it would be something like Φαισάλ Ἰουνούς Ἰβραίμ (the ζ was pronounced "zd", so it's probably better to use a simple σ, in line with the original Arabic; the sound [h] did exist in Classical Greek, but it would disappear between vowels, and χ was pronounced like an aspirated "k"). Or you could use the traditional Greek renditions of the latter two names to get Φαισάλ Ἰωνᾶς Ἀβραάμ.

My name is some really messed up orthographical deviation of George
(from Γιώργος), having passed through the ages towards the Scandinavian lands (I think it is of Danish origin, maybe German, but in different countries the spelling and pronunciation varies). It's a very rare variant that's almost never used, but that is exactly why it was given to me. The name simply means farmer, the one who works the earth. My second name derived from Martinus. It means Warrior of Mars in Latin. My last name is van Schaïk, and Schaijk is simply a small Dutch village (so it means my ancestors probably came from this small village in Brabant).

How is Greek written? According to its Latin source or its pronounciation? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

According to the Greek pronunciation - Latin doesn't play a role at all given that Greek
was attested earlier than Latin, it is the Romans that stole from the Greeks (and they freely admitted to this). 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

And so, Greek has different pronounciation than English? Whose pronounciation similar to Greek?
