Why did Europeans stop using names from their own language and begin using Hebrew and Greek Christian names?

I'd like to expand the question to Turkey as well, if it wasn't already included. Until relatively recently, native Turkic names were non-existant among Turks; they used Arabic Muslim names.

Follow up question: Did naming habits change following the translation of the Bible into common languages (rather than exclusively Latin) around the 15th and 16th century?
