The answer

These words are foreign names. There is no disagreement regarding the occurrence of foreign proper nouns in the Qur’an, such as Ibrahim (Abraham), Ismail (Ishmael), and Zakariya (Zachary), because proper nouns are among the things in which languages concur, serving to distinguish the named entity across all languages.
