====================================================
Harry:
ASHER TZVI son of Yitzchak the Levite.
(In a previous response, I explained about the name Tzvi and how it can be related to Harry. This seems indeed to be the case here.)
-----------------------------------------------------
Eva:
CHAVA daughter of Yosef Shalom
Chava is not the same name as Chaya, which appeared in another image. Chava [CHAH-vah] is Hebrew for Eve.
Yosef is Joseph.
Shalom means peace. Some men with Shalom as part of their religious name have a secular name of Solomon.
----------------------------------------------------
Irvin:
Yitzchak son of Asher Tzvi the Levite.
