The question comes from an incorrect implicit assumption, namely that the names by which we currently call those apostles were the names by which they actually went. This is not the case. Their names have been subject to translation and changes. These people were actually named, Matitiyahu, Petter, Pa'ul, and Ya'akov, which are completely normal Hebrew/Aramaic names.
