Hi, strange request coming up!
Does anyone know of a website that can change English names into foreign names?
I am looking to translate the name "John Smith" into as many languages as possible. ( A site i could type John Smith into and then see a longggggg list of foreign equivalents/closest matches would be a dream!)
For example i am reasonably certain the french for John is Jean but i don't know the french equivalent of Smith ( Le Smith? lol)
Another example would be the german for Smith being Schmidt/Schmitt and other spelling variables, but i don't know if the closest equivalent of John in German would be Johan or Jurgen or Joachim or possibly something else.
Spanish for John = Jose? No idea for the Smith part.
Failing a link, I would be very grateful if anyone who is certain of a translation could post it for me in the other language. Any language short of Klingon is of interest to me in my research!
Obviously Smith is derived from the Old English for "metal worker" so I would hazard a guess that it has a similar origin in other languages, but "john"???
Thanks to any and all who can help me. Kindest Regards, Rum
