Christian Baby Names / Finding A Name With Meaning
If
you're looking for a Christian 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!
