Popular Biblical Baby Names and Meanings

June 24, 2022

“What’s in a name”?  

So much actually! I can remember trying to choose names for my babies and feeling frantic as the due dates loomed ever closer.  My husband was stickler on choosing Bible names for our boys, but as I inched towards motherhood, I wanted names that were meaningful.  Thankfully, we found both in some beautiful Bible names.

Choosing your baby’s name is such a fun part of expecting a little one.  The great thing about Bible names is that they never go out of style.  There’s a lot of traditional names, but there’s also many unique names you can choose from the Bible.

So I’ve rounded up some of the most popular Biblical baby names with their meanings for your new little bundle of joy!
