Barabbas

His 'name' was actually Jesus, He was called Barabbas.

His name [Jesus] was written in the original Greek Gospel according to Matthew (27:17) but that it was removed or omitted from the Latin 'translation' (around 384 c. e.) and most of the subsequent 'translations' thereafter.

"Barabbas" is not a proper name or surname per se' (any more so than is "Christ"), -it is an Aramaic appellation, -the meaning of which is: Bar = Son + ABBA = Father (as in 'the Father of us all' or, 'God' if you will).
