girls names meaning Blessed

Hello berries,

I am searching for some lovely names meaning Blessed or Blessed by God.

If anyone could help me that would be lovely. I am fond of classic older style names. The only name I have found so far I like is Gwenavere, but my husband does not love it.

Thank you.

[name_f]Benedicta[/name_f] / [name_f]Benedetta[/name_f]: “blessed” (plus, has religious connotations)
[name_u]Gwyn[/name_u] / [name_f]Gwyneth[/name_f] / [name_f]Gwen[/name_f]: “white, fair, blessed” or “blessed, happy”
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] / [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]: “blessed, happy” (related to the latin word beatus)

I wish I could find a name that means “blessed by God” but this is the best that I could find. I hope this helps!

I wasn’t totally satisfied with my last suggestions, so I thought I’d come back with some more :slight_smile: They don’t all relate directly to “blessed”, but I tried to keep the same thought.

[name_f]Abigail[/name_f] (“my father is joyful”)
[name_f]Ana[/name_f] / [name_f]Anna[/name_f] / [name_f]Hannah[/name_f] (“grace” or “favour”)
[name_f]Annette[/name_f] (“the [name_m]Lord[/name_m] has favoured me”)
[name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] (“gift of God”)
[name_f]Eliana[/name_f] (“my God has answered”)
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] (either “pledged to God” or “my God is abundance”)
[name_f]Jane[/name_f] / [name_u]Jean[/name_u] / [name_u]Joan[/name_u] / [name_f]Joanne[/name_f] / [name_f]Johanna[/name_f] (“God is gracious”)
[name_f]Janet[/name_f] (“God’s gracious gift”)
[name_f]Theodora[/name_f] / [name_f]Theodosia[/name_f] (“gift of God”)

There are tons of variations for each of these names (as seen with [name_f]Jane[/name_f]), so if none of these are your style, there might be another version that’s right for you (I know [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] has a bunch).

You could also combine your own creation
from syllables meaning blessed and God. I am sure there are more out there, but here are some examples.
God syllables:
[name_u]Jo[/name_u]
[name_f]Thea[/name_f]
[name_f]El[/name_f]
[name_m]Ab[/name_m]

Blessed syllables:
Bene
[name_f]Gwen[/name_f]
[name_f]Bea[/name_f]

So maybe:
Gwenthea*
Benel
Jobea
Theoben
Gwenell
Elbea (pr LB or ell-bee-ya?)
[name_f]Abbea[/name_f]

Good luck!

I like [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]! Nickname [name_f]Bee[/name_f].
