Please create a dataset on personal names that contains at a minimum the following data:
Event: naming/name change - old name, new name, person doing the naming, reason if known ...This would include all name changes and all cases where the mother is not the one naming the child
For theophoric names: name of the God that appears in the name
For a "foreign" name: original language, original language name; Hebrew name if there is one
For names given an explicit etymology in the Bible

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    I've been creating notes for every name and untranslated noun and anchoring the first occurrence of that per chapter. as you can imagine that's been very time consuming and it would be excellent to have this as a dataset instead. I've shared the notebook with my study group to save them the time of doing the same.
