No English translation of the work itself was located. HOLLIS on 'Jerome interpretation of Hebrew names English' returns only studies of Jerome's Hebrew philology and editions of the Latin: the critical text is Corpus Christianorum, Series Latina 72 (Turnhout, 1959), which also carries the Hebraicae quaestiones in Genesim, Commentarioli in Psalmos and the Ecclesiastes commentary (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Jerome%20interpretation%20of%20Hebrew%20names%20English&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 The only English rendering of any part of it is the preface: the Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers volume for Jerome prints 'Preface to the Book on Hebrew Names' in its section of prefaces, not the lexicon itself (https://www.ccel.org/ccel/schaff/npnf206.toc.html). No Fathers of the Church, Ancient Christian Writers or Translated Texts for Historians volume was found, and no English record appears in HOLLIS under the work's titles. Michael Graves's Jerome, Epistle 106 (SBL Writings from the Greco-Roman World, 2022) translates a letter on the Psalter, not this work (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Exegetical%20epistles%20Jerome&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0
This is the Latin West's standard onomasticon: an alphabetical glossary giving the meaning of Hebrew personal and place names, which Jerome compiled from Greek sources and his own Hebrew. Medieval exegetes used it constantly, and modern scholarship on Jerome's Hebrew learning cannot be checked without it; in English it can only be quoted from Latin, since even the preface is all that NPNF offers.
