on a name and sometimes we know the name on the spot and wait for the child to
be born. It is a very special and dedicated moment to become a parent. We hear
out suggestions from our family and friends and then decide on a name which
makes it all the more special.
During the earlier times, parents and many
of our ancestors have lived by the bible and know the names along with the
stories that line up with it. They knew many languages and Hebrew, Greek or
Latin were just neighboring languages used for communication. Now we have the
liberty to learn each language in depth and the sources to analyze and find out
the meaning of each event that happened in the past. Such is the power of
history and traditions that we follow. Here are a few popular biblical names
