'the galilee sea' is kinneret in hebrew
the 'dead sea' is the salt sea in hebrew
english for france is from a germanic word for spear 'francon' or something, in hebrew its 'itzarfat' named after a phenician city. (same with sfarad for spain)
egypt -> mitsrayim
greece -> yavan
china -> sin
bethlehem -> beit lehem (house of bread)
amman -> rabat amon ('the big one of the ammonites')

idk there's probably many others
