Abigail, Elizabeth, Anna, and Sarah are my favorite Biblical girls’ names!
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f] - “delicate”
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] - “pure, rebirth”
[name_f]Salome[/name_f] - “peace”
[name_u]Shalom[/name_u] - the original version of [name_f]Salome[/name_f]
[name_f]Bathsheba[/name_f] - “daughter of an oath”
[name_f]Magdalen[/name_f] - this one we all probably know (reference to [name_f]Mary[/name_f] Magdalene)
[name_f]Adina[/name_f] - male name in the Bible though it sounds quite feminine
[name_f]Drusilla[/name_f] - “fruitful” (a visitor to hear [name_m]Paul[/name_m] preach the gospel)
[name_u]Eden[/name_u] - the garden of [name_u]Eden[/name_u]
[name_f]Seraphine[/name_f] - reference to the seraphim “the burning ones” who are angels praising god in the bible
[name_f]Eve[/name_f] - “life”
[name_f]Nephele[/name_f] & [name_f]Nefeli[/name_f] - possibly reference the nephilim
I only listed the ones I am fond of
[name_f]Sarai[/name_f] means princess
[name_f]My[/name_f] favourite biblical names are:
[name_f]Eve[/name_f], [name_f]Anna[/name_f], [name_f]Julia[/name_f], [name_f]Leah[/name_f], [name_f]Lydia[/name_f], and [name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f].
[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_f]Lily[/name_f], but the Bible is referring to the actual flower, not a person when they’re mentioned. Not sure if that makes a difference to you.
Tabitha - gazelle
Dinah - God will judge
Naomi - pleasant
Jemima - dove
I don’t remember Diana being in the Bible. The is the name of the Roman version of Artemis. Also, Esther was the name given to Hadassah (which means myrtle tree) by the Babylonians. There is some evidence that this name is derived from the name of the Babylonian goddess, Ishtar.
Are your wanting something more mainstream or biblically obvious?
