Choosing a name for your little one can often get tricky. When there are infinite options to choose from, it is natural for parents to feel overwhelmed. Baby names that mean ‘pious’ can be a great option if you want to imbibe this noble quality in your child. These names are unique and exotic and reflect the deep and sincere devotion to the Almighty or divinity. Piousness is one of the top qualities that many new parents want to inculcate in their children. Pious, which means ‘dutiful’, is generally used to describe someone who is extremely religious and follows all the ethical and moral codes of his religion. However, piousness doesn’t always need to be used in the spiritual or religious context. It could also be used to describe a person who believes deeply in something and makes everyone see it through his behavior. In Christianity, piety is described as the virtue of children. It helps in the attainment of the most profound meaning of the world that comes from the Almighty (1). In Islam, this virtue is highly regarded and both men and women are to live a pious life by honoring Allah's commandments. People across cultures have sought to honor the Almighty with names that display their dedication and reverence. Thus, they act as a means to instill spiritual or religious fervor in your child, or a legacy that connects your offspring to a lineage of faith and devotion. The concept of piousness is indeed beautiful, and you don’t have to think twice before picking a name that symbolizes the same. In this post, we have compiled a list of baby names meaning pious.
