I know this may be on the skirts of what this list is for, so I apologize. I know of no place else where this question could be accurately answered, so please bear with me :-)
How would the Latinate personal name Desiderius be most properly Hellenized? My best idea with my current state of knowledge would produce DESIDERIOUS.
Would this be correct as far as accepted conventions for transliterating names into Greek go?
Thanks in advance for any help you might have to offer on this.
Kindest regards,
