About this tool
Browse Christian and biblical baby names with their Hebrew, Greek, Latin or Aramaic origin, meaning and scriptural figure.
The Christian Baby Name Finder searches a curated list of 116 biblical and Christian names, each recorded with its origin language, the literal sense of its root word, the scriptural or historical figure who carries it, and whether it comes from the Old Testament, the New Testament, the saints and church tradition, or the virtue-name tradition. Parents can filter by starting letter, gender, origin language and source, or type a word like "light" or "grace" to match against meanings and figures. Names with contested etymologies list the main scholarly readings rather than presenting one gloss as settled.
Open Christian Baby Name Finder on AltFTool — it loads instantly in your browser.
Tap a Starting letter, then set Gender, Where the name comes from and Origin language.
Type into Meaning or figure contains — light, gift, prophet, apostle — to search the root gloss and the scriptural figure together.
Read the matched count out of 116 names with its Old Testament, New Testament, saints and virtue split, then press Copy list.
Every entry names the language the root actually comes from — Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, Latin, Germanic, English or Basque — instead of labelling everything simply 'biblical'.
Each row records who the name belongs to in scripture or tradition, so you can tell Anna the prophetess from Hannah the mother of Samuel.
Where a name's etymology is contested, the gloss lists the competing readings side by side rather than picking a winner.
116, split 72 boys' names and 44 girls' names. They break down by source into 46 Old Testament, 37 New Testament, 29 saints and tradition, and 4 virtue names.
A virtue name is an abstract quality used directly as a given name rather than a person from scripture — Faith, Hope, Charity and Grace. Faith, Hope and Charity are the three theological virtues, and Grace comes from the Latin gratia, meaning favour freely given.
No. Old Testament names are mostly Hebrew, but New Testament names are often Greek or Aramaic — Andrew is Greek for 'manly', Barnabas is Aramaic for 'son of encouragement' — and saints' names are frequently Latin or Germanic.
Yes. The meaning search matches your text against both the meaning gloss and the figure, so entering a word such as 'God' or 'prophet' returns every name whose root or associated person mentions it.
