message: As far as I can check there isn't any "List of hellenised names" in WP, and some of the names included in this article are actually hellenised rather than latinised. Here are some:
Moses Maimonides (Moshe ben Maimon) (the suffix -ides means "son of" and is typical Greek names suffix)
ANASTASIUS - Anstis (Anastasis = Resurrection) 
APOTECARIUS -Lespicer; Spicer (Apotheke = stores). The suffix -us is simply the latin equivalent of the Gr. -os.
ARCHIDIACONUS - Archdeacon; Arcedeckne ("diaconus" means "helper")
ARCHIS; ARCIS
de AULA - Hall (See also de HAULA), Ad AULAM - atte Halle; Hallde CHRISTI ECCLESIA,  DRACO, ECCLESIENSIS - Churche
ELISEUS
ELYOTA - Elliott (the suffix -otes, -ote means "from + toponym"). In Italian is frequently transcribed as -ota or -oti and in modern Greek as -otis.
FANTASMA - Fantosme, ROBERTIADES - Roberts (the same as -ides), 
Hieronymus Bosch (Jeroen Bosch), Desiderius Erasmus (Erasmios = beloved), Thomas Erastus (about the same as Erasmus), Eustachius ("well standing"?), Gersonides (Levi ben Gershom) (son of Gerson), Martinus Hylacomylus or Ilacomilus (Martin Waldseemüller) (yle = forest, mylos = mill), Johannes Rhodius (Hinne Rode) (from Rhodes island), Johannes Stadius (Jan Van Ostaeyen or Jean Stade), Tycho Brahe (Gr. name Tychon, from tyche=fate). 
Some other names are re-latinised or re-hellenised, i.e. they originate from latin or greek, they had been vulgarised in some european language and re-latinised (e.g. de BONA VILLA - Bonville, de Castro etc).
Seems that we need a List of hellenized names--Euzen (talk) 21:53, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

message: I'm sure that
*HERNUEUS – Harvey
is not correct, and that it should be
*Haruæus (Harvaeus) = Harvey
cf. the marginal note here. And also in the latin Wikipedia Gulielmus Harvaeus. --2.247.247.77 (talk) 08:44, 17 November 2017 (UTC)

message: This section was copied verbatim from pages 429–450 of The record interpreter : a collection of abbreviations, Latin words and names used in English historical manuscripts and records by Charles Trice Martin, published in 1910 (via the currently expired website http://coxresearcher.com/definitions/latin/surname.htm, archived here). The book can be read on the Internet Archive at https://archive.org/details/recordinterprete00martuoft/page/n7.
In the book (and the website) the chapter title is "Latin Forms of English Surnames": there is no mention there or in the book's preface of the names being coined by Anglo-Norman scribes as is claimed by our article's section header.
Further, this list was compiled over a hundred years ago and we should not be advancing such ancient material as fact. And lastly the list is a straight copy of content that's already freely available online – if it belongs anywhere in the Wikiverse, it should be in Wiksource, not here. For all these reasons I've removed the entire section and added a link to the book under Further Reading.  —SMALLJIM  15:47, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

message: I feel like these would work well as a table, with columns for their name, their latinised name, and possibly the source. Do others feel this is a good idea? I am willing to convert al of this to a table, but I want to make sure it won't just get reverted. I can do stuff! (talk) 22:25, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
