Personal names will sometimes be translated - depending on when the person moved or decided to present as.

I know of Indian colleagues who go by an English-sounding name that is at least somewhat close to their actual name. Others have anglicized a spelling that is phonetically close.

The main difference is that you can ask them what they prefer as they’re right there.

It’s harder to ask an entire country.
