agree  Jan Sundström: The ancient Austrian empress was in fact called Maria Elisabeth, and I can imagine that she was known as Mary Elizabeth abroad. But each historical figure should be treated separately... This has been discussed before: http://accurapid.com/journal/26names

neutral  Reino Havbrandt (X): Yes, and the asker knows thar, me knows that and you knows that. So, if anybody asks such a question, it must be to find the Swedish parallell names e.g. in Fin it would be Marja Liisa

  -> I knows that you and I knows. But I would have difficulties to appreciate 'Liisa, Queen of England' or 'President Göran Buske'.

disagree  Jan Sundström: Often, taken names by royalties etc (as opposed to baptized "commoners" like Bush) ARE translated in many languages. Whether she is known under a translated name must be verified for each person in question. Compare Jean-Paul, John Paul, Johannes Paulus..
