Biblical baby names
In Bible, names play a variety of roles. Sometime these names relate to the nominee's role in a biblical narrative, for example Nabal, a foolish man whose name means "fool". Human hopes, divine revelations and prophecies are also represented by the names used in the Bible. Most of the Biblical baby names are anglicized from their Hebrew and Latin roots as the texts were translated. Biblical baby names given in the Old and New Testaments of the Bible are both classic and unusual and almost all names carry a history. Some Biblical names meanings are quite noble such as "great warrior" or lovely such as "full of grace", while others are a bit less so such as "palm tree". Some of the reasons for the parents to choose Biblical names for their babies are that they are based on familiarity, religious background, and family history.
