Do Christian Eritreans have a Muslim name?

[haxxor]

When I say Muslim name, I mean that includes Arabic name. I have a feeling it's true as Arabic is more widely spoken in Eritrea than in Somalia...

I know habasha Christians named Salam. Biblical names maybe? I know one kid named Yonas, I guess the Muslim/Somali version is Yunis/Yonis. But that's the closest i could think of

In Eritrea these days there is few arabic names but really muslim names like abdullah,mohammed, ahmed,moustafa etc. arabic is more wide spread in Eritrea even the christians Eritreans speak it if not brokenly some of them Fluent. why do you ask??? you met an Eritrean christian with an arabic name???
