What If Their Names Were English? Famous People's Names by Translation

Oh no! I asked AI to translate a text into English and in the process it translated given names, as well. Can you guess which famous people's names got translated like this?
My most used source was Behind the Name.

Great idea, although haven't some liberties been taken here? I can't find any link between "Proust" and valiant; Black is "dubh" in Gaelic as well.

Thanks for the comment! Some of these are only approximate translations for sure. The reasoning for the two names you've mentioned are as follows:

Proust is apparently from "preux" according to Behind the Surname. Carey -> Ciardha-> ciar=black

I will add the website in the instruction box for reference.
