When choosing a name for a child, family’s faith and baby’s gender are important aspects to consider. Biblical unisex names represent Christianity and Jewish culture, along with the potency to name the baby regardless of the gender. Inspired by the names of the characters in the Bible, these mainly originate from the Greek or Hebrew roots. But you can also find Biblical names derived from Biblical elements and habitations, such as the habitational name Shyloh, which means ‘tranquil’ in Hebrew. Several names on the list were gender-specific during Biblical times; however, over the years, they attained gender neutrality. For instance, Shua is originally a feminine name, but it is also used as a male given name. Our list of Biblical names is versatile. Each name is meaningful, with its unique story and religious and historical significance.
