Benzoman, following Sflori and Kuan,

With the phonetic spelling theory then, perhaps the spelling could have been:

"Bishara is a syrian name"
"Bishara means good news in Arabic. Good news is the gospel, the way to be born again, in the New Testament. " Larry Wood: from the web site www.biblenews1.com

This is a quote and I do not know how accurate it is.

Hope that helps.
