Hoping to find a heavenly name for your baby boy or girl?
Whilst all Christians share similar beliefs, there are several denominations of the Christian faith including Church of England, Roman Catholic, Methodist, Baptist, and Orthodox. Christian beliefs are based on the Bible, which has two sections; the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old Testament is the original Hebrew Bible, written before the arrival of Jesus Christ. The New Testament was written by Christians in the first century after Christ.
Unlike other denominations, Catholics are lead by the Pope and base their beliefs not just on the Bible but also on the specific traditions and teaching of the Roman Catholic Church.
Biblical baby names have proven a popular choice for centuries; with Christian and non-Christian parents alike. From traditionally popular Christian names to unique Christian names, Biblical baby names tend to have strong meanings, often related to great personality traits.
