For most of Jewish history most Jews have not had “Jewish” biblical names. In the Jewish community of Rome in the 1550’s the most common name was “Perna” (http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/yehoshua/rome_article.html) at least according to
the records of the Beit Din of the community. (I actually wrote that article and did the basic research myself)
