Mezu:
If you would really like to get technical, the
Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Peter, etc. are all 1600s
English names that were mistranslated in the King
James Version of the Bible (names were only the small
part *cough* thou shall not suffer a witch to live
*cough* should be thou shall not suffer a poisoner to
live).  The original names are Greek, Latin, or Hebrew
in origin and sound nothing like what we know today. 
Unfortunately, I do not have my Greek
direct-translation with me (at work, d'oh) so I cannot
give what the names should be.

Just an example, Jesus is a corruption as well. If we
were to take the most direct translation, he would be
called Joshua. Big Difference!

With the amount of research JKR did in so many other
portions of her books, I doubt that she would use the
names or the worst translation (Association of
Biblical Scholars, 1999) of the bible like that.
