To make the names easier to pronounce in Arabic and to make Arabic people more comfortable with the show. Giving characters native names from a viewer's own language results in a more rewarding experience for the viewer. Tsubasa could have easily been called "Johnny" in English, "Rodrigo" in Spanish, "Antoine" in French, etc.
