Christian boy names come from different parts of the world and carry the essence of the teachings of Jesus Christ. Since Christianity originated from the Israelite clans, many Christian names might have originated from Biblical Greek or are of Hebrew roots inspired by the names of Biblical characters. For instance, the Hebrew name Abel, which means 'breath' is the name of Adam and Eve. But Christian names are not limited to the Bible. Many of these Christian names also resonate with Christian beliefs, despite having no Biblical connection, for instance, the Croatian name Zvonimir means 'sound of peace.' You can also find a few names inspired by the names of Christian saints and martyrs of the modern churches, such as St. Arnold who was the 11th-century French bishop Being. The following list of meaningful Christian names for boys includes a wide range of names, reflecting religious beliefs. Take your time exploring and find the perfect name that resounds with your faith and heart.
