Why Choose a Biblical Baby Name?
Biblical names offer far more than beautiful sounds—they carry stories of faith, courage, and divine purpose that have inspired families for over 3,000 years. When you choose a name like David (meaning "beloved"), Hannah (meaning "grace"), or Elijah (meaning "my God is Yahweh"), you're giving your child a name rooted in sacred history. These names connect your family to a rich spiritual heritage while remaining timeless, elegant, and universally respected.

Understanding Biblical Name Origins
The Bible contains names from three primary ancient languages: Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic. Hebrew names dominate the Old Testament, reflecting God's covenant with Israel. Names like Elijah and Sarah carry deep theological meaning. Greek names appear primarily in the New Testament, including beloved names like Philip and Lydia. Aramaic, the common language during Jesus's time, gives us names like Martha and Thomas.

Old Testament vs. New Testament Names
Old Testament names often reflect Hebrew culture and God's promises to Israel. Names like Abraham ("father of many"), Rebecca ("to bind"), and Isaiah ("salvation of the Lord") appear throughout Genesis, Exodus, and the prophetic books. New Testament names blend Hebrew tradition with Greek influence, giving us beloved names like Mary, Peter, and Timothy. Our spinner lets you filter by testament to focus on the era that speaks to you.
