Hello My Friends,
I’m so sorry for taking so long to respond.
I have been overloaded with work.
I don’t know the meanings of names by heart.. I actually have a baby names book that I look up when people ask me the meaning.
I plan to look up the baby name meanings sometime when I have a moment to help you all out.
Thank you so much for reading my blog.
By the way.. here’s a Free Bible ABC Poem Coloring Book I created for children if you haven’t seen it yet.

I hope to have some free time soon.. to help you all out.
I haven’t forgotten you. {{{hugs}}}

Blessings always,

Hello Mrs Eren,
I couldnt go by without saying that I really like your site, it was a pleasure reading through all the posts up here. I accidentally got to your website while looking for a christian name. My wife and I are expecting our first born and did choose not to know the sex before my beautiful wife delivers. By as we’re of catholic religion and strongly believe in Jesus, we really wanted to name our child from a name that refers to God, a name that will testimony that our child is our Lord’s gift, and through our child life,we shall praise the Lord,the almighty! Elisha sounds good for a girl but we have many so-called in our neighbourhood (in fact I didnt know the meaning of Elisha before my wife got pregnant and presses me to look for a name). I came accross your website by God’s willing, I strongly believe that by HIM I shall get the name.
Would you please help me and find the meaning of Belinda? My name Frank Salez and my parents named it so from St Francois de Salles,but what does it mean?!
Praise the Lord.
Blessing,
Salez

Hi Eren,
We are thinking about having another baby. I delievered our son in June at just 28 weeks. He was diagnosed with neuroblastoma and was with us for just 5 short days. We want to have the perfect name lined up in the case that we are able to conceive (we haven’t had issues getting pregnant, but have suffered 3 miscarriages and then our precious angel Landon). We have a name but we are struggling with a name for a boy. We feel it should mean God has answered or God promises, something along those lines. Thank you!

Hi Erin, My Husband and I are expecting our fourth child and it is a girl! We are new born Christians and want a meaningful name for our daughter. Her middle name will be Faith for sure, but we want a name that has full meaning that makes sense with the first and middle name. Any suggestions for a first name that has a great meaning to go with Faith as a middle name?

Hi Erin
Just came across your fab website and it blessed me so much.
I’m having my 4th child boy ! Nearly have a 5 aside !
I love the name Gabriel but am worried he may get picked on. After reading a message on another naming website from a young boy who was given the name and hated it ! He said he got picked on and called gay or gabe do you think I should risk it ? And do you think all children will suit their names chosen as it’s a very strong name ?

Hi Erin. I am not yet aware of what to expect but I am so excited to have a name prepared for our baby. I’m currently 3 months pregnant. I am thinking of the name Israel Zion whether it will be a baby boy or girl. Israel since that is one of our dream vacation but I am kind of confuse about the real meaning of Israel. I found out in Genesis 32:28 that it was originally the name of Jacob. Does Israel means the one who struggles with God or a prince God? Thank you so much. The Lord bless you and keep you.

Hi Erin

I am very pleased to have gone through your site and feel that its exactly what i needed.

I am a mother of a 3 year old little girl and am going through the process of marriage. Something in me is adamant that my next child will be a boy and that this baby needs to carry with him a powerful biblical name that will carry through the goodness and beauty of Christ our Lord.

My first option was Zion but at this point i am not too sure after seeing and reviewing the options that have come to my attention.

I believe that this child will be a life changing experience in our lives including his sister, myself and his father so i need a name that will he will live up to also be of joy and play a role in his life as well exceedingly and abundantly.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my email. May God bless you always.

I recently had a miscarriage and my husband and I would like to find a name for our baby. Since the baby was only about 8 weeks, we don’t know the sex, so we are looking for a unisex name with a good meaning. Possibly something like God’s gift, blessing, healing, peace, etc. Preferably a name that is somewhat unique and easy to pronounce. Thanks for your ideas.

What a beautiful and inspiring topic. My husband and i would love children but as yet God has chosen not to provide. If and when he does we’d love to name a girl Ruby which i’ve read biblically was a symbol of the glory of God. And for a boy Jasper which was the stone adorning the breastplate of the high priest in exodus.

Congrats on your twins. What about simply “Grace” Clara Grace sounds pretty

By: Laura

Laura — Sat, 09 Jul 2011 20:00:42 +0000

We’ve been looking for months for good names for our twin boy and girl due any day now. We have settled on Caleb Nehemiah for the boy and Clara for the girl’s first name. We would like for her middle name to mean the grace of God/God’s grace, but haven’t found one that we love. There is already a Hannah in the family and we’d like it to be a longer name like Nehemiah for cadence. We also would like it not to begin with D, as that is the first letter of our last name. Can you help?

I just love your site. Please continue to do this. I have a testimony for you. I wanted a child all my teenage years. Well, when I married my first husband we tried and tried but could not achieve even with medical help. Well he left me for another woman not long after we found out. Well I moved and started my life over again. Within a year after I found someone and starting dating I found out I was almost 3 months along. I had a very easy pregnancy except for gestational diabetes. When I went into labor 3 hours later I delivered a 8 pound 21 inch baby boy. We called him Josef- the French pronounciation of Joseph. I wanted a name that would be easy for him to learn to spell. When he was 9 months old we were told that he had cerebal palsy that affected the left side of his body. Well I took it that “God sends the special ones to the ones that can handle it”. I have always given God the glory for at least giving me a child of my own to love and nurture. Then when he was in kindergarten he fell off of the back porch and fractured his skull and almost died. With the grace of God I kept teling the Doctors and nurses that he was named Josef and that was a very strong name and that he will be fine. Then when he did recover the surgeons were amazed because they had never seen a child with such trauma recover so quick–I just repied that “God deserves ALL OF THE CREDIT AND GLORY AND PRAISE” My son recovered and woke up on Mother’s Day. I praise the Lord every day for that most wonderful gift that year. Now I look at my almost 18 year old son and wonder where the years have gone. thatnk you so much for allowing me to give my testimony on how Gopd has touched my life. My the Lord Bless all who come to your site and read the comments.

I just wanted to ask for prayer. My husband and I would like to have a child. I have been told by doctors it is not likely due to a condition I have. She did not say impossible but there are a lot of details I would rather not type out. I have a passion for working with children my husband does as well, The Lord has shown me my children in dreams, and I believe I will have them one day, I am just asking for prayer in the situation. I give my love to other peoples children every day, I would love the chance to love my own.
Thank you.

Our first three children are Nathan, Abigail and Joshua. We are strongly considering Rachel for our new baby girl. I am discouraged when I look at the character Rachel in the Bible. She made quite a few poor choices… (had her maidservant sleep with her husband, stole from her father, etc.) Otherwise, I love the name. I love the Hebrew meaning also – innocent little lamb. I realized that Nathan abigail and Joshua are all strong characters in the Bible, whereas with Rachel we are shown more of her character flaws and sort of a what not to do type of character. Do you have any thoughts?
Thanks!

I love this website! Thank you for it Eren. I have three children. When I had the first two i was not a christian but the names that where on my heart and I gave to them actually are christian names. Praise the Lord…I smiled so big when I found out! It is amazing how I can look back all the years I denied our Lord and see how much he actually was there and working in my life! My girls names are Brooklyn Elise (born 2001)and Brynlie Hope (born 2005). I accepted Jesus in to my heart October 2007 and had my son in 2009. I choose to name him Bransyn Nathanael. But when I tell people that Nathanael is a Biblical name many say no. Am I wrong? I thought He was a Disciple?? we are now trying for our fourth child and I love the name Bristol Faith or Brea Anaiah for a girl and Breckstyn Luke or Brennen Elijah for boy names. How do these names sound? Any other suggestions are welcome.

Hi Lolly,
As for girls names we have Ardith which is traditionally given to baby girls as a blessing. There`s also the name Grace which means blessing and favor.

As for boys names we have Jedidiah which is a biblical name which means blessing and was given in infancy to King Solomon. Another name that means blessing but I don’t believe is biblical is Barack which also means lightning.
Hope this helps,

To the person who wanted a baby girl name meaning God`s gift – Dorothy is originally Greek and means Gift of God. Giovanna means gracious gift from God. Other names that mean gift from God are: Hansel, Janet, and Ivanna.
Charisma is a name that referred to the spiritual gifts bestowed by the Holy Spirit on the disciples.
So you can combine any of them with Cheryl and decide which one you like best.

@Nekkiia - Thank you so much for your prayers. It`s very encouraging for me to know that other Christians are praying for my father to get better. He has already gotten much better in the last week. He was able to sleep all night after 4 months of not sleeping well. I know that it is all an answer to prayer. Please keep praying for his recovery. Thanks again

@Linus - Thank you Linus. May God continue to bless you and guide you.

@Ashly - The closest name that I know that means God`s will is Faith. It means belief in God and acceptance of God’s will.
Hope this helps.
Blessings,
Eren

Hi there Haileab - Sorry it`s taken me so long to respond. My father is sick with Parkinsons disease so I`ve had a lot of things to take care of. I finally had a moment to write a response to your questions. I decided to put each name in a separate post just so that if in the future someone else wants to know the meaning for each name it`s all more organized. So each link will open up in a separate window so you don`t lose this page. Here are the baby name meanings: • The origin of the name Delilah • The name Donna – facts and origin • The Hebrew name Esau • Hebrew meaning of the name Micah Hope this helps (ˆ◡ˆ) Blessings, Eren

Hi Phoebe,
You`re not bothering me at all my friend. Narrowing it down to that exact meaning God has answered my prayer I only know of Samuel. However there is another Biblical name that simply means God answers :
Anaiah - Means “YAHWEH answers” in Hebrew. This name is found in the Old Testament.

and also there is

ANATH – means “answer” in Hebrew. In the Old Testament Anath was the father of Shamgar.

Those were the only two other names I found. Hope this helps.

Eren

My husband and I wanted unique names that had strong meanings. We have been blessed with 2 beautiful little girls and I did a lot of research on names while I was pregnant. While these are not found in the Bible, we really loved the names and meanings and so I’m passing them on in case anyone else finds them helpful…
Everlyse – American name meaning “Always consecrated to God”
Elianna – Hebrew name meaning “The Lord has answered/responded” (though I have found with this name that the meaning can vary depending on the spelling of the name.)
And my name (Michelle) means “Who is like the Lord?”

I whole-heartedly agree with you that naming your child is both a privilege and responsibility. It wasn’t one we took lightly! Meaning is so important and I’ve discovered that many people often live up to their names, whether they know it or not! That is my prayer for my girls…
You have a great page, Eren! God bless!

@Sarah – Ryan is of Gaelic or English origin and means little king.
Gabriel is a boy’s name of Hebrew origin. It means “God’s able-bodied one; hero of God”. In the Bible the archangel Gabriel is the only angel besides Michael that is named.
Personally I would choose the name Gabriel between the two but you need to pray and ask the Lord which name is the best in your situation.
Blessings sister,

@Ben – Hi there. I have found names that mean faithful but not directly “God is faithful”. Here are the names that i have found:

Fidel means faithful

Amin means “Honest, faithful, trustworthy.”

Sadiki means “Faithful, loyal.”

As for names that mean gift from God here are a few:
Jonathan – means “God’s precious gift”
Dorothy is originally Greek and means Gift of God. Giovanna means gracious gift from God.
Other names that mean gift from God are:
Hansel, Janet, and Ivanna.

@Danny – That’s so cool that your son was born on Valentine’s Day. Agapios is a boy name which is originally Greek, it is found in Scripture and means love. A derivative of the name can be Agape.
Another greek name that i dont know if it’s in Scripture or not but means mututal love is Anteros.

Eldad is a biblical boy name that means favored of God or love of God.
Also you could name him Valentino which is a boy name with Italian origin and means healthy and strong.
Hope this helps.

@Renae - 5 babies in 7 years! Wow girl you beat me- I had 3 babies in 3 and a half years.
Tyshicus is also a biblical name that means faithful servant of the Lord.

As for names:

Elisha is Biblical and means God is salvation. He was a faithful attendant and successor to prophet Elijah.

Name with the direct meaning of faithful:

Fidel means faithful

Amin means “Honest, faithful, trustworthy.”

Sadiki means “Faithful, loyal.”

And as for loyal we have:

Truman which means “Loyal one.”

or the name Loyal itself.

Hope that helps,

Hello my friends,
I will be answering each of these comments one at a time. My father has Parkinsons and just fainted this morning so I am taking care of him. Please be pateient while I go through each one. The first answer is to Michelle:

@Michelle – Here are 3 baby boy names that are of Hebrew origin and mean God is generous:
• Isaiah is a boy name that means: the Lord is Generous. Salvation of the Lord. God’s Helper.

• Jonathan means: Jehovah Has Given.

• Joshua means: Jehovah is Generous. Jehovah Saves.

Also for a girl’s name that means generous there is Karimah that is of african and arabic origin and Yetta that is of English origin. The whole thing is though is that these girl’s names are not referring to God being generous only generous in general.
Blessings ♥,
Eren

Hi Erin

What a great website, I thoroughly enjoyed reading through it. Please could you help us find some Christian names that have the meaning “God’s Gift” or “God’s will”. Our pregnancy was a very big surprise and we believe it was only because God decided this for us.
Thank you!

Hi Linus,
I’m so sorry you’re going through this difficult moment. I’m sure that if you pray and ask God for a solution He will answer your prayers. This post as all posts on any blog is public. That means that anyone in the entire world can see what is written. So for safety reasons I had to take off half of your comment as the information was confidential and should not be shared publicly.
I will be praying for a solution for you. Continue to seek the Lord for a solution for this. He is the Creator of the Universe so no problem can be too big for Him to solve.
Blessings in Christ,
Eren

Yes Linus.
Don’t forget to spend time with God every day because all it takes is a few lies for the devil to get us off track. Read bible studies, pray to God and keep your heart striving for the right things. Being aligned to God is the absolute most important thing. If you ever feel anxious simply go to this page and listen to the sermon at the bottom. It is a wonderful sermon:

@Emmanuella - Jayde means “precious stone”. Kayla is the diminutive of the original Hebrew word Michaela which means “who is like God?”
xoxo,
Eren

@Solomon - Thanks for answering Linus’s comment. This end of the year has been so crazy for me that it’s taken me a while to respond to the comments. So I appreciate the feedback. As for baby boy names with the meaning faithful here’s a small list:

Elisha is Biblical and was the name of the faithful attendant and successor to the prophet Elijah.

Fidel means faithful

Amin means “Honest, faithful, trustworthy.”

Sadiki means “Faithful, loyal.”

and as for loyal we have:

Truman which means “Loyal one.”

or the name Loyal itself.

Hope that helps,
Eren

@Jenise - Congratulations on the twins! Double blessing! Awesome – I just love babies. You said that you felt that God smiled on you and that reminded me of the blessing that God gave Abraham and Sarah – Isaac was their promised child. Isaac is a biblical name that means “laughter”. Also for your girl, have you thought of the name Joy? It’s such a meaningful and positive name. By the way if you’re having a baby shower you might want to take a look at the creative baby shower posts I created over here:
http://www.embracinghome.com/baby/

@Beaulah - Bader come from the original “badara” which means “to take by surprise” I haven’t found many other names with the meaning surprise. Although Nissan means miracle.

Hope that helped you all. If you haven’t signed up for the free newsletter, you can do that over at this link:

@Jessica - I don’t really know a name that is female and means God provides however Adalia is a female name that means “God is my refuge; noble one.
Blessings,
Eren

@Jacott - Jacott is a male Biblical name that means ‘God is my judge’ in Hebrew .
Hope that helps,
Eren

@Veronica – És un bueno nombre. Parabéns!

@Anne & Joseph - As for girls with the meaning gift of God we have Dorothy that means “Gift of God.”
Charisma is a name that referred to the spiritual gifts bestowed by the Holy Spirit on the disciples
As for a boy’s name with that meaning we have Jonathan.
Blessings,
Eren

@Susan and Bran – Elias is typically a boy’s name so it would be better to use the female version of this word which is Elise. Both names mean the Lord is my God.
Hope this helps,
Eren

@Alysha - Congrats on your new baby! Shakir is a boy name of Arabic origin, and it means “grateful”. The girl variant for this name would be Shakira. Jadon is another boys name and it means “Thankful; God will judge.”
Hope that helps,
Eren

Hi Linus - Sorry I took so long to respond to you. This end of the year has been filled with responsibilities for me as a mom to 3 boys so you can imagine. Your name means flax as Solomon said.. but I believe your issue really has nothing to do with the meaning of your name. Name meanings are a way to show God’s sign on our lives either what has happened or what will happen. My name comes from the original Irene which means peace. For a long time I didn’t have peace but I knew in my heart that God would give me the peace that I so yearned for. And He already has given me that peace.
But we are not stuck to the name meaning because we have free will – the gift that God gave each and every one of us.
The first issue I want to address is that you said:
“am 31years old but i cannot boast anything”
This shows that you believe that you need to prove your worth through your accomplishments. You don’t need to prove that you are worthy. You don’t need to do anything at all to prove this. God already proved that you are worthy by creating you and then coming to die for your sins. Your worth comes from being His child and that was given to your by grace not by works.
Pay attention to this verse in Scripture:

“For by such grace you have been saved through faith. This does not come from you; it is the gift of God
Not of works, so that no man should boast.”
Ephesians 2:8-9

Paul the apostle showed us that all of what the world says is what makes us great is not the right thinking.

“If I must boast, I will boast about the things that show how weak I am.”
2 Corinthians 11:30

We have value because of who we are in Him (God) not of what we do.
Here’s another one of his verses:

“That is why I take such pleasure in weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and difficulties for the Messiah’s sake, for when I am weak, then I am strong.”
2 Corinthians 12:10

When you have faith- when you truly believe that you are God’s child you will also believe that He has a purpose for your life. He has a plan for you. Now stop a minute and ask yourself…. Do you truly believe that God has a purpose and a plan for your life?
If you don’t believe that then Satan has stuck a lie in you mind and it will steal your joy.
You have to believe that God has a plan for you and also that every single thing you have gone through is preparing you for what He has planned. He wants to use you to bless other people. But before He can do that- you need to believe. Build up your faith by listening to the Word of God. Develops a relationship with Him. And once you have those truths in your mind don’t ever let anyone take them from you.
Here are 3 posts that I believe will help you:

1- The difference between religion and relationship to God

2- top 35 reasons to love God become closer to Him ( there’s also a printable of that post)

3- Encouraging Bible Verses

@Meg – Nehemiah is a beautiful name and has great meaning to it. I wouldn’t worry about what others think. I personally only ask the Lord if what I’m doing is wrong. If He says it’s ok then I’m cool with it then I simply live my life. Jesus was perfect and he didn’t please everyone. In fact we all know what people did to him even though all He did while being here is heal the sick and help others and of course save us all. Anyways if Nehemiah were a name that had a bad meaning then I would think about changing it. That’s not the case. I really hope you go with Nehemiah because that’s how I felt about all of my childrens’ names- I felt like that was the name for that child. Anyways – so glad to have you here and sorry about taking so long to respond.. this end of the year was just crazy busy. I hope you sign up for the newsletter so we can keep in touch.

@Pam – Jordan is a beautiful name which means low place. It is my oldest son’s name by the way. the meaning is very strong because it was where the people of Israel passed through to get to the promised land. It is also in the Jordan that Jesus was baptized. It’s a figure for us that we need to be humble in order to reach the Presence of God. Now in relation to your pregnancy sorry to hear that it has been so stressful When we are pregnant there are so many hormones that influence our emotions and that’s very hard. You said that people have taken your joy and I truly believe that they have… but only because you have allowed them to take it. Don’t give others the permission to take your joy. If they try to say things that might get you down fight each and every thought they throw your way so that absolutely none of them come into your mind. I see myself as stubbornly positive and having a hard head in this case is a great thing because it protects your emotional life. If you don’t stand up for your emotional and spiritual life .. no one else will. God has given you the weapons to spiritually fight so do so.
My latest post has been about finding inner peace and I think it will help you :

@ Linus: Linus your name is of Greek origin, and the meaning of Linus is “flax”. From Linos. Biblical: a Christian companion to Paul in Rome.

A name will not affect your life… your attitude will. So depend on God and try to work on a personal relationship with God. You will find direction in your life and every sphere of life. Hang in there Linus, God has a plan and if u let Him He will do great things for you including making your life special.

Hi Eren,
I love this site, it just feels so peaceful and relaxing. I was having trouble coming up with names for my twins. I don’t know why I’m having such a hard time. But I did a search and came across your website. After reading some of the comments I said I might as well ask you for suggestions. I was blessed with twins and I felt that God smiled on me and gave me a double blessing. I wanted to find names that were close to what I felt, but I cant seem to find anything. Ultimately I just want the Lords will for my babies names, I am having a boy and girl. The Lord told me in a dream that I would have twins, and He used rocks as a symbol in my dream, I know that Peter means rock and rock is strong for foundation.
One other thing, a nurse suggested the names Malik and Mya and I liked it at first and my husband liked the name Malik. But after looking up the meaning of Malik, I don’t feel so good about it or Mya. Malik means sovereign in Arabic and is apart of the 99 names of Allah which would be al-malik. So this is what I dont like, because I am a Christian and only God is sovereign. I found that Mya has something to do with rebellion and some other things I didn’t like.
Well I hope you can help in some way, even if its just a prayer. Sorry for the long comment, but I just had to get this off my chest.
God Bless and Merry Christmas
Jenise

Hi,
We are expecting a boy and we want to name him with meaning – Whose heart is loyal or faithful to the Lord. I am open to names from Hebrew or any origin. Our prayer is as David prays in 1 Chronicle 29:18- keep their hearts loyal to you.

Can you suggest any names that mean thankful, grateful or give thanks to God? Any other ideas for good names given our situation would be great too!

Thanks,

Dear Eren

I am expecting a baby boy in December and looking for a name that is strong.
My preganancy has been very stressful where people have taken lot of my joy.
Through it all my boy has pulled through it all.
I’m looking for a biblical name and meaning.
My favourite so far is Jordan but i don’t have the true biblical meaning.
