Biblical Baby Names

All baby names are beautiful and interesting and somehow unique but biblical baby names are a slightly different story. Most Christians choose biblical names because of their religious and spiritual meaning, but also as a sort of "blessing" for the newly born. If parents decide to choose Biblical names for their children, they won't have a hard time finding something suitable, as the Bible has hundreds of beautiful and meaningful names to choose from. The Bible contains different names that come from different backgrounds and origins. Parents can choose the names from the Old Testament or, if they prefer a more modern touch, the names written and found in the New Testament.

The Old Testament give parents an important source of documentation when it comes to biblical names and here are some of these names found in the Old Testament with their meanings:

Adam - none other that the first man to walk on Earth. The name derives from the Hebrew word "Adama" which means 'red earth'. Many parents choose this name for their first new born baby boy. David is another Old Testament's name and it means 'beloved'. And in fact David was considered to be one of the most beloved people found in the writings of the Bible.

Enoch - this is a common name found frequently in the Old Testament it has a special meaning too, Enoch translating as "dedicated".
