What should I consider when choosing a Biblical name for my baby?

When choosing a biblical name, it is important to remember that not all of them are associated with positive stories and connotations. Therefore, one must look for names with positive connotations of divinity, strength, piety, truth, and life.

What are some lesser-known biblical names?

Biblical names like Immanuel, meaning ‘God is with us,’ Claudia, meaning ‘lame,’ and Barnabas, meaning ‘son of the prophet,’ are rare and lesser known.

Are there any biblical names that are popular in contemporary times?

Biblical names like Noah, Abigail, and Jacob have been among the most popular names in the US for over a decade (1). Noah meaning ‘motion’ is associated with the heir and daughter of Zelophehad, while Abigail meaning ‘my father is joy’ is associated with the third wife of King David. Similarly, Jacob meaning ‘holder of heel’ is associated with the father of the twelve tribal founders of Israel.
