Let me know if there is an established name for any of these, but I have a few suggestions in case there isn't.
As an example of what I've done, let's take Immanuel/Emmanuel, by which Jesus [Eliyahu] is often called. Immanuel is a Hebrew [Yeudish] compound name meaning "God with us." I took the Greek equivalent of that, Meth'imon o Theos [too long], and contracted it to Imotheos. Then I Latinized it to "Imotheus." This can also be used for the philosopher Immanuel Kant, whom I'd call Imotheus Brandt. So I propose:
Mary - Stella [from her Latin title Stella Maris, Star of the Sea]
Adam - Adipursh [from a Sanskrit word for the Biblical Adam; Adam means "man" in Hebrew.]
Eve - Prahava [I took the Hebrew name for Eve, "Chavavah/Havah", and combined it with the Sanskrit word for "living"; Eve means "the living one" in Hebrew]
Garden of Eden - Garden of Idumea [The obscure Biblical place name "Edom" is often confused with Eden; Idumea is another name for Edom]
Satan - Ba'al Zabul [the reconstructed Philistine name on which Beelzebub is based]
The Devil - Farul [from the full form of the name Lucifer in Romanian, which is Luceafărul de dimineaţă]
(We could totally use more names for the devil. Maybe based on words in other languages that mean "the enemy".)
Immanuel/Emmanuel - Imotheus
Immanuel Kant - Imotheus Brandt
Kantian, Kantianism - Brandtian, Brandtianism
