First name translation question
Salam dear friends,
I understand that if you have a friend from a US/UK country whose name is "Oliver" it will be translated as:
الیور
If this friend is from FRANCE, the name "Oliver" is "OLIVIER" (in French). Therefore would you call him:
زیتون ؟
(an 'olivier' is an olive tree in France - which is 'Oliver' in English).
I am curious as to know if you, Persians, would find this different spelling weird or not - what name would you use in order to call your friend ?
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question !

No, in Persian : we just say exact original name but with our pronunciation,
we don't translate names.

No we do not translate it as you see some Persian name has lots of synonyms or meaning. we do not call people here by their name's meaning or synonyms

The French version will be "الیویه/Oliviye", which is also a popular salad dish in Iran.
