This for Jennifer Lockhart,
The origin of Interpretation of Hebrew Names is not easy to fathom.
For research I suggest Repertorium Biblicum Medi Aevi by F. Stegmuller vol
5 page 234 item 7709. It gives many additional references and suggests
Cardinal Stephen Langton as the author. Then there is "Stephano Langton
(d.1228) e la Tradizione delle sue opere" published by Aschendorf of
Munster page 33 paras 1.4.2.1 : 1.4.2.1.2; and 1.4.2.1.3 again
suggesting Stephen Langton.
The trouble is that the whole body of Langton's works is no longer
known precisely. Thus it has to be determined whether Langton was cribbing
from Bede who might have cribbed from Saint Jerome.. I wish you every
success and very much look forward to a report in time.
