Biblical Girl Names

198 namesGirl

Biblical girl names carry stories of courage, faithfulness and wisdom. Many have been used for centuries across Jewish and Christian families, and they often feel both classic and meaningful.

The Hebrew Bible provides many of the names here. Sarah is the great matriarch of the patriarchal stories, and Sara is a common alternate spelling. Rachel and Leah were sisters who married the same patriarch and became mothers of the tribes of Israel. Hannah prayed for a son who became a great prophet, and Abigail was praised for her wisdom and quick thinking. Naomi is the devoted mother-in-law in a short book of loyalty and kinship, and Delilah is the famous figure who betrayed a strongman in the Book of Judges.

The New Testament adds several gentle names. Mary is revered as the mother of Christ, Elizabeth is her kinswoman and the mother of a prophet, and Anna appears as an elderly prophetess in the temple. Lydia was an early Christian convert in the Book of Acts, Julia is greeted in the apostolic letters, and Chloe appears briefly as a woman whose household is mentioned in Corinthians. Khloe is a modern spelling of that name. When choosing a biblical name, many families think about the story behind it as well as the sound. Some parents prefer names tied to strong, positive figures, while others simply love the classic feel.
