Biblical names and saints’ names

Biblical names run from the prophets (Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel) to the apostles (Andrew, Bartholomew, Nathaniel) and the Gospels (Gabriel, Elizabeth, Mary/Maryam). Saints’ names (Sebastian, Cecilia, Theresa, Vincent) honour a revered figure.

Meanings often trace to Hebrew, Greek or Latin roots — we give the common one. Many of these names travel easily across cultures, which is part of their appeal.
