Name pairs with reverse compounds (e.g., Dorothy and Theodore)

Factual Questions
1

The names Dorothy and Theodore are both derived from the Greek words δῶρον, meaning “gift”, and θεός, meaning “god”. The only difference, etymologically, is that in Dorothy, the order is δῶρον + θεός, whereas in Theodore, it’s θεός + δῶρον.

Are there any other examples of pairs of personal names where the etymological constituents are reversed?

2

Marie-Anne and Anne-Marie

OK, I got nuthin’.

3

Somebody’s name could be Fitzwilliam Williamson

4

Kyoto (capital city) and Tokyo (east capital)

I looked up a few possibilities, including “Phillip and “Hippophile” (no one I can find with the latter as a personal name),

The closest I’ve gotten is “Roger” (“ruling spear”) and Gerald/Gerard (“spear ruler”). The “spear” part is cognate, but unfortunately the “rule/power” part seems to be from distinct words (“hrod” vs. “wald”). So close!

Here’s more on “wald”:

6

Got one! “Harold” and “Walter” are composed from the same Germanic elements; they mean “warrior ruler” and “ruler warrior.”

7

Amadeus (lover of God) and Theophilus (God-lover). The former is Latin, the latter is Greek.

8

Amadeus (lover of God) and Theophilus (God-lover). The former is Latin, the latter is Greek.

Or for a pure Greek example, I suppose there’s Theophilus and Philotheus.

I assume Demophilus and Philodemus also fit the bill, along with Xenophilus and Philoxenus.

9

There’s also Philodendron, a plant genus, and Dendrophilus, a genus of beetles.

Edit: Dendron = tree.

10

Slavic first names Miroslav and Slavomir (e.g. Russian: Мирослав, Славомир; Polish: Mirosław, Sławomir). The components mir and slava mean, respectively, “peace/world” and “glory”.

11

And in German you have the pair Gottlieb and Liebgott.

12

So basically Dot and Tod?

13

Gerald Fitzpatrick and Patrick Fitzgerald.

14

Unless “Gerald” and “Patrick” have the same meaning in some language, I don’t see how this meets the criteria.

15

“Gift” and “God” - the two roots in the OP - don’t share a meaning.

16

The best i can come up with is the duelling political candidates on Futurama - John Jackson and Jack Johnson.

17

I think the point is that Patrick Fitzgerald and Gerald Fitzpatrick are not the same thing but merely with the order switched. They are different.

One is Patrick son of Gerald and the other is Gerald son of Patrick. The difference isn’t one of word order, it’s a difference in genealogy.

18

Also in German, ‘Friedemann’ und ‘Manfred’, both meaning ‘man of peace’.

19

The best i can come up with is the duelling political candidates on Futurama - John Jackson and Jack Johnson.

That one’s better insofar as “Jack” is (or was, originally) just a nickname for “John”. So both candidates’ names mean “John, son of John”.

Here’s one pair that fits your criteria exactly: Bertram and Rambert
Bertram means “bright raven”, derived from the Germanic element beraht “bright” combined with hramn “raven”.
Rambert: Derived from the Germanic elements hramn “raven” and beraht “bright”.
