Re: [tied] Hekto:r means...?

This seems to be somewhat common. In the US in regard
to Native Americans we have a jumble of Native
American names, translations, corruptions, misprisms
and nicknames: e.g. Squanto, Sitting Bull, Tecumseh,
Pocahontas, Geronimo.and Captain jack
The same thing occurred during the Crusades e.g.
Saladin (Salah ad-Din), Bobadilla (abu abd-al-Llah)
and Barbarossa (for Khair ad-Din).
Does this happen among the Philistines as well?
