Religion is one of the founding pillars of most cultures. This is a reason why names that mean ‘god’ are common in different languages and countries. These names are significant as they represent spirituality and a deep connection to the Divine power. Parents choose these names for their children to honor their religious beliefs. They also feel having a name connected to the Almighty will become a beacon of hope and guidance throughout their child’s life. There is a wide range of names that either mean God or are related to God. For instance, Elijah, a biblical name that means ‘Yahweh is my God’ in Hebrew, is popular even today because of its religious meaning. Similarly, the Hebrew feminine name Isabella meaning ‘God is my oath’ is popular with parents who see it as a symbol of faith and devotion. Another well-known name is Michael, which means ‘who is like God’ showing a deep connection to God. The Islamic name Abdullah, meaning ‘servant of Allah,’ shows a strong belief in God's power. The name Talia, with Hebrew and Aramaic roots, means ‘dew of God,’ and also reflects faith in a higher power. If you are looking for a spiritual name for your child, have a look at the list below.
