bible name for baby boy | biblical name for baby

Hi guys so today, I'm here with a new name of Bible name for baby boy  for you. A lot of you seem to love the last time that I talked about biblical names. so I decided to go through the name use and find some biblical names that were used only a few times. so this video will be on rare biblical boys names and then I'm going to do a second one on prayer biblical girls names. All the names on this list were given to less than 50 babies in 2016 and most of them were given to less than 20 babies. So to put that in perspective, the most popular name of 2016 for boys that also happens to be biblical was Noah.

 Noah was given to over 19,000 baby boys in 2016. so I tried to find these biblical names that would make really really interesting alternatives to some of the more popular biblical boys names like Noah and Samuel and Matthew and I love dall of the names on this list and I really think that you guys will appreciate these names too. so I am so excited about this list and I just want to jump right in and get started so the first name I have on this list is Zebulon.

 Zebulon was given to only 19 baby boys in 2016. It's been one of my favourite biblical boys names for a long time. Zebulon was one of the sons of Leah and Jacob and it's also the name of one of the twelve tribes of Israel. I think the nickname Zeb is so cool and kind of has a futuristic sound to it .this name has several possible meanings it might mean Prince or possibly gift either of which are super super cool. Another spelling of Zebulun was used only 24 times in 2016. so wherever which ever spelling you go with is still going to be super unusual and really really cool.

The next name I have would be an amazing alternative to Noah and that is Manoa. Manoa would only get into 18 boys in 2016. it is so handsome. I think that extra syllable just give it something extra and it means rest. in the Bible Manoa is a faithful man who eventually becomes the father of the hero Samson. This name makes an amazing Noah alternative and Noah could even be used as a nickname.

The next name I have is Camula.  Camula was given to 17 boys in 2016. It's one of my new favourite. I really like this name. Camula is the name of at least three men in the Bible one being the nephew of Abraham it comes from Hebrew and means God is rising which is a great meaning. it has a very attractive sound and could be a Samuel alternative or a way to even honor a Samuel or even a Canon.

 The next name I have is every Esra was only given to 14 boys in 2016 and Ezra is so popular right now. It's just shot up the popularity charts thanks to the show pretty little liars and I think the name Ezra would make an amazing as their alternative. Ezra means my helper and in the Bible Andrea isn't overseer during the reign of King David.

 The next name is one of my favourite. I keep saying these are all my favorites. I just love all of these names and that is Aquila. Aquila was given to only ten boys in 2016 this name means Eagle which makes it even cooler. in the Bible Aquila and his wife Priscilla which is another one of my favorite names are early Christians in the New Testament and Aquila can get a very very cool nick name Quill. Aquila is also the name of a constellation that represents an eagle in the northern sky. so that just give sit an extra cool factor like, Oh your name is also the name of that constellation up there. I think that would be really really cool.

 the next name is Jubal. Jubal it's probably my favorite name on this list right now my top boys combination is Kathleen Jubal .Jubal was only given to 18 boys in 2016. Jubal moves around horn and Jubal was the first person in the Old Testament to be a musician. in Genesis it talks about Jubal being the inventor of all of these musical instruments like the lyre and the flute and the harp. so I think this may be an amazing choice for a musical family looking for an unusual choice for their son and I just absolutely love this name. I think it would make an amazing middle name choice just like I have on my last cast Jubal maybe as an alternative to some of the more popular J names out there.

 The next name I have on this list is a Matthan. Matthan was only given to nine babies in 2016. Matthan is the name of a great-grandfather of Jesus and it means gift so amazing meaning and it has sound that fits in with so many names that are popular right now like Matthew and just to put it in perspective Matthew was given to over 12,000 boys last year. Compared to Matthan which was given to nine and you can still get the nickname Matt if you really like that it also honored somebody means Matthew because I know Matthew was popular. when I was growing up it was popular even before that so there's probably Matthews in your family that you might want to honor and it could also be an alternative to Nathan which is another name that's been popular for quite a while.

 Another name that could bean alternative to Matthew is Mattaniah. This one is a little bit more out there and it was given to less than five baby boys in 2016. it means gift of God which is the exact same meaning is Matthew and this is the original name of King Zedekiah. so I think this may would be perfect if you're looking for something a little bit more out there than Matthew. Maybe to honor someone named Matthew.

The next name I have is Zedekiah. Zedekiah was given to 32 babies in 2016 and I have a hard time believing that such a cool name is so undiscovered in the United States. Zedekiah means justice of God and so I think it'd be really cool if you have like lawyers and your family to use this name because it means justice of God. Zedekiah was the last king of Judea and this name fits in with Old Testament names that are gaining popularity like Jedediah, Zechariah, Nehemiah those are all in the top 1000 but Zedekiah isn't and jwid jedekiah, you can get some of the coolest nicknames like zed or even kiah and I think those nicknames are so cool like said I would love to meet a little boy named Zedekiah with a nickname said.

 The next thing I have is Zadok. Zadok is another unusual g name from the Bible that was only used 23 times in 2016. Zadok is a Hebrew name that means a righteous which again is an amazing meaning. This name was more popular in biblical times for sure because there are nine Zadok in the Bible. The most famous vada was a high priest during the time of David and Solomon.

 The next name I have is Othniel. Othniel was given to 27 babies in 2016. I am kind of head-over-heels in love with this name right now it could easily honor a othaniel. Othaniel means the Lion of God which is a very cool meaning once again in the Bible off Neal was the name of one of the judges of Israel and he was also the nephew of Caleb maybe I should think about using this name because I have a brother named Caleb so then my son would be the nephew of Caleb.

 The next I have is Adonijah. Adonijah Jett was given to only 12movies in 2016 Adonijah  is one of those grand Old Testament names that are kind of making a comeback but this one just hasn't been discovered yet but it would definitely fit in with the Ezekiel's, Malachi's and Nehemiah's on the playground in the Bible. Adonijah was one of son of King David. Adonijah means My Lord is God this name could honor a grandpa dawn in a really unique way.

 The next name I have almost list is Tiras. Tiras was given to less than five boys in 2016 in the Bible .Tiras is the grand son of Noah. this name possibly means desire and this man kind of has a similar feel to Silas. it defies and some of the more popular biblical name and the nickname tie could make this name a little more appealing to modern parents, I love the nickname tie  for little boys.

 And the last name I have on this list is Lemuel. Lemuel  was given to 48 boys in 2016 this is one of my absolute favorite biblical names of all time. Lemuel has been in the top 1,000 in the United States but not since 1976 and now it's barely ever used Lemuel could definitely be an interesting Samuel alternative Samuel was given to over 10,000 boys in 2016.Lemuel is a Hebrew name that means belonging to God and in the book of Proverbs. Lemuel is a king who has given instructions on his mother on what to look for in a godly woman and it is one of my all-time favorite part of the Bible. Jonathan Swift also used this name for his character in Lemuel Gulliver in his famous novel Gulliver's Travels. so let me know in the comments below which of these names were your favorites and if you have any unusual biblical baby names that you love please share them in the comments I love love talking to you guys in the comments and hearing what your thoughts are on names I mean I could talk about names all day and Biblical names are probably my favorite absolutely adore them so many of my favorite names are biblical so leave me a comment and we can chat me thank you guys so much.
