448 Biblical Baby Names With Meanings

Biblical baby names are rooted in faith, religion, and most importantly, the Bible. Some may confuse biblical names with Christian names or use these terms synonymously. However, there are certain distinctions between the two. Biblical names are those appellations that can be found in the Bible. They are inspired by religious figures and characters from the Old and New Testaments. On the other hand, Christian names or baptismal names are appellations given to a baby through baptism or at birth. It is also important to note that all biblical names can be considered Christian names due to their connection to religion, but not all Christian names are biblical names.

Biblical names carry an important meaning and are associated with certain characters and stories in the Bible. It is no surprise that these choices are widely used and well-loved since the Bible holds the record as one of the best-selling books of all time and has been translated into 700 languages. Based on these translations, biblical names may differ from one country to another, or from one language to another. For example, Matthew is an English biblical name, but in Catalan, Matthew is written as Mateu. It can also be found as Mátyás in Hungarian, Matviy in Ukrainian, and Matej in Slovak.

Parents may be drawn to biblical names because of certain virtues embodied by the characters in the Bible such as courage, faith, and devotion. They act as reminders and beacons for their little ones to follow. Moreover, they are timeless and have persevered through centuries. Choosing a biblical name can also be a way for parents to express their gratitude and devotion through their faith. Our list covers a huge repository of biblical baby names to explore and find the perfect one that expresses your faith, heritage, and dreams for your child's future.
