Anyone else thinking about the name Andarateia likely being the in-universe equivalent of real world names such as Joshua or Mary? With Andraste being the official Chantry version only used for that specific figure the same way Máire is used as the common name Mary in Irish while Muire is used exclusively for the Virgin Mary

Makes me think about what would be the other religion-derived names in Thedas, considering most cultures in the world lean toward naming their children after holy figures and other things relating to religion
