I absolutely love Biblical names! For those who don’t know much about Biblical figures, I’ll share a little about each…
Women
[name_f]Tabitha[/name_f] is one of my favourites, partially because of who she was. [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f], sometimes called [name_f]Dorcas[/name_f], was a generous disciple who sewed for others and gave to the needy.
[name_f]Mary[/name_f] is an obvious one – [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_u]Nazareth[/name_u], [name_f]Mary[/name_f] of [name_f]Bethany[/name_f], and [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Magdalene[/name_f] being the most well known.
[name_f]Esther[/name_f] is actually in my top 10 favourite names – [name_f]Esther[/name_f] was a kind and merciful queen.
[name_f]Rahab[/name_f] is an underrated beauty – a faithful and kind servant of God.
[name_f]Eve[/name_f] is an obvious one – perhaps not the most loved figure but an incredibly important and influential one. This name also honours a special person in my life.
[name_f]Deborah[/name_f] was a compassionate judge. A special name, as this was my favourite teacher’s name growing up.
[name_f]Miriam[/name_f] is another beauty – saved her brother [name_u]Moses[/name_u] as a baby.
[name_f]Priscilla[/name_f] was known for her generosity and powerful ministry.
[name_f]Bathsheba[/name_f] [name_u]An[/name_u] imperfect but honourable figure, gave her life to honouring God.
[name_f]Abigail[/name_f] Saved many lives through her courage by preventing a battle.
[name_f]Hephzibah[/name_f] Unfortunately, not much is known about her – but the name itself means “delight of the Lord” – she must have been wonderful.
[name_f]Salome[/name_f] Also not much is known – but [name_f]Salome[/name_f] was a follower of [name_m]Jesus[/name_m].
Men
[name_u]Moses[/name_u] is a brilliant one. Always in tune with God’s word, despite hardship and failure.
[name_m]Job[/name_m] is another! Showed amazing strength and perseverance and trusted God, despite all that happened to him.
[name_m]Caleb[/name_m] was a man who trusted God even when everyone around him did not.
[name_u]Elisha[/name_u] was commited to God and those around him throughout his entire life.
[name_u]Joseph[/name_u] is a great example of a sensitive, family-oriented man.
[name_u]James[/name_u] my personal favourite name on this list. He was one of the first disciple’s to join [name_m]Jesus[/name_m].
[name_m]Lazarus[/name_m] teaches us that God will always help.
There are so many more, but these are a few of my personal favourites, and the most famous ones.
Some of the lesser known figures with cool names, who I won’t share the story for each of them are:
