Biblical names come from Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic texts spanning more than two thousand years. They're names that moved through synagogues and churches, that marked Jewish and Christian tradition, that carried weight because they belonged to figures—patriarchs, prophets, apostles—who shaped the faith itself. Jacob wrestled an angel and became Israel. John baptized Jesus. Matthew was a tax collector who became one of the twelve.
Many of these names hold their meanings plain: Joshua means "God saves," Ethan speaks to strength and firmness. Others have shifted slightly in translation from their original languages, which is why you'll see alternate spellings listed alongside the primary form. Every name below includes its meaning and origin, so you understand not just the sound but the story—and the tradition—behind it.
