And in the same way that Hannah is an English spelling of Channah does not make it an English name. And Susanna is from Shoshanna, and Elizabeth is from Elisheva. So please don’t trot out the ‘just use a Hebrew name’ argument.
Zalman is the Germanic form of Shlomo – same reason, different language.
