Finding name variants and related names
Within Logos, how do you find variants of a Biblical name? related names? - I tend to go outside Logos so I really, really need some help.

You are much more experienced than me,. but I was just shown "Referred to As and Translated As" in the fact book.

Thank you. Yes, I could slowly build in the information from the Referred to As information - but it is by person rather than by name. What I'm looking for is a consistent source of information like this: [quote]
The Forms of the Name
In Hebrew, the name “Joshua” is yehoshua and can be spelled as יְהוֹשׁוּעַ (yehoshua') or יְהוֹשֻׁעַ (yehoshua'). The biblical text uses both spellings interchangeably, sometimes even within the same verse (as in Judg 2:7). The shortened form of the name is spelled as “Jeshua” or yeshua (יֵשׁוּעַ, yeshua'), but this spelling is only found in the postexilic historical books, most notably used for the high priest who returned from exile with Zerubbabel (Ezra 2:2). This later spelling is likely the basis for the Greek form of the name as “Jesus” (Ἰησοῦς, Iēsous). The name means “Yahweh saves” or “Yahweh is salvation” (Howard, Joshua, 27).
