I have a bunch more of these images here.

People in the community have given me my name, spelled in their written language. I love this very much. Thank You for any additions!

A good deal of these came from this amazing Twitter thread

1. Chinese : 龍之春 (it means "Spring Dragon", as my last name "Long" means "Dragon" in Chinese)
2. Japanese : ジョシュ•ロング
3. Hindi : जोश (it means "passion", and sounds almost like "Joosh"!)
4. Kannada / Kanarese : ಜೋಶ
5. Korean : 조쉬 롱
6. Bengali: যশ লং
7. Punjabi: ਜੌਸ਼
8. Arabic: جوش لونگ
9. Farsi: جاش لانگ
10. Russian/Ukranian/Bulgarian Cyrillic: Джош Лонг
11. I got the following alternative Russian spelling from my friend Baruch (@jbaruch) , who said this would be a more proper translation instead of a transliteration: Длинный Джо. He also said it sounds like a character from a Russian translation of a Spaghetti Western. It is also a Russian translation of Joe's Long Cayenne, a red hot pepper. He adds: thanks @grishace. Thanks, indeed, to both of you!
12. Amharic: ጆሽ ሎንግ

26. Greek: Μακρής (Makris). Μακρής literally means "long" and it's a common lastname in Greece, too.
