How accurate are the common pronunciations of Biblical names (i.e. Daniel)? Are they dead on, or have the pronunciations evolved? Are the names even original?

hi.. you might get something out of these related posts

Luke is short for Lucas. Why does the bible Luke only have the short form? - /u/vhcngh traces John, Jonathan, Luke, Mark and Matthew from English to Latin to Greek
Which came first, the name 'John' or 'Johnathan' (or similar spellings?) Were the Johns of biblical times simply called John or were they less famously named Johnathan? If John came first, how did it evolve to become the short version of Johnathan? - various respondents provide the original Hebrew names for John, Jonathan, Adam, Matthew and Paul
Was Jesus a common name when the biblical Jesus was alive? - lots of comments and links to other posts discussing the Hebrew name for Jesus
Biblical names like John,Paul,Gabriel or Peter have different pronunciations in other languages like Juan (John ,Spanish) or Paolo ( Paul, Italian). How were these names pronounced during biblical times? - very scanty information here, but a few more names are given

That depends on the name, and which version you're going with. "Miriam," a somewhat common Jewish name, was the original form of "Mary," and Israelis use the original "Noach"/"Noakh" for "Noah." Oddly, the American pronunciation of "Ruth" uses the biblical pronunciation of Hebrew (which in this case matches the Askenazic), while "Rut" ("root") is Modern Israeli Hebrew.
