They evolved from their own mythology and local history, with meanings that are completely reasonable.
Look at Emanuel, which can also be spelled Immanuel or Immanu’el. The ‘ is a hebrew letter.

The only thing making them different is because we do not share the culture and language.
Örjan and George, Karl and Charles. One is Swedish, a Northern germanic language, the other is English, a Northern germanic language. But a bit different even though being close in both geography speaking and language speaking. Then introduce a whole different language. Even if you go a bit east to Russia and you get Yuri instead of Örjan and George.
