Christian and Biblical Baby Names
A List of Christian or Biblical Names with their Meanings

If you're looking for a Christian or biblical name for your child, whether boy or girl; and if you want a name that conveys a meaning, not just a name grabbed from the "top 100" or "most popular" lists, there is no better place to start than Easton's Bible Dictionary. This classic reference work contains nearly 4000 entries providing definitions for the most frequently used words, proper names and place names in the Bible. We've culled the list to save you some time, highlighting only those entries that are likely to be helpful in your search. (If you'd like to use the entire dictionary, click here.) My list contains not just proper names, but every word in the Bible that might be suggestive of a good name for your child ... all the obvious ones like Mary and Andrew, some you may not have associated with the Bible, like Zaza, and some you have probably never heard before. But more than that, it also contains some words like Rush or Willow, that are perfectly suitable as names, but have a more subtle biblical connection.

All the entries are listed in alphabetical order. If you already know the name you are looking for and simply want to look up its biblical meaning, just click on its first letter in the first line below and then continue scrolling down until you find what you want. Next, click on that name and go directly to the definition. Or scroll through the entire alphabet and let the list spark your imagination. You may also use the search engine in the box above. When you do, you'll not only find the definition, but the full biblical text or texts where word appears. Enjoy!
