Re: [tied] Re: Albanian (Albanian personal names)

Thanks for the explaining!

Are Albanian Christian names of Byzantine origin? Or through Slavic? Are
they usual nowaday or are Albanian names mainly Muslim ?
And what would be the equivalents of

Andreas
Balthasar
Bartolomeu
Mohammed - Memet (?)
Ahmed
Jamil/Jamal
Joseph - Jusif (?)
Elisabeth
Stephen
Helena
Theresa
Timotheus
Franciscus
Michael
Gabriel
????

Is there some patronymic suffix in Albanian that make surnames? ( like
Armenian -ian, English -son or Spanish -ez)

Gratefully for your message.
