Regarding Musa and Isa, does their mention in the Qur'an indicate that they are Arabic names?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : As for what we mentioned, that the names Musa and Isa are non-Arabic names, if they are mentioned in the Qur'an, they are Arabic,The Shaykh : they are Arabized, Arabized, yes, as for the Torah and the Gospel,

The questioner : So what about Musa and Isa?
The Shaykh : We mentioned that the names Musa and Isa are non-Arabic names, and if they are mentioned in the Qur'an, they are Arabized. Every non-Arabic name, if it is mentioned in the Qur'an, meaning in its original form, is Arabized and its origin is not Arabic. Because if you say it is non-Arabic even after the revelation of the Qur'an, the Qur'an would not have been in the Arabic language. And does it harm us to say: When the Arabs Arabized them, they pronounced them and put them on their tongues, so they became Arabic through Arabization? I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan.
(5) Indeed, from Allah nothing is hidden in the earth nor in the heaven. (6) It is He who forms you in the wombs however He wills. There is no deity except Him, the Exalted in Might, the Wise. (7) It is He who has sent down to you, [O Muhammad], the Book; in it are verses [that are] precise - they are the foundation of the Book - and others unspecific. As for those in whose hearts is deviation [from truth], they will follow that of it which is unspecific, seeking discord and seeking an interpretation [suitable to them]. And no one knows its [true] interpretation except Allah. But those firm in knowledge say, "We believe in it. All [of it] is from our Lord." And no one will be reminded except those of understanding. إن الله لا يخفى عليه شيء في الأرض ولا في السماء هو الذي يصوركم في الأرحام كيف يشاء لا إله إلا هو العزيز الحكيم، هو الذي أنزل عليك الكتاب منه آيات محكمات هن أم الكتاب وأخر متشابهات فأما الذين في قلوبهم زيغ فيتبعون ما تشابه منه ابتغاء الفتنة وابتغاء تأويله وما يعلم تأويله إلا الله والراسخون في العلم يقولون آمنا به كل من عند ربنا وما يذكر إلا أولوا الألباب
[Ali 'Imran 3:5-7]
I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan. It appears that we have not discussed this and have not taken the benefits.
