26758 Christian Baby Names To Celebrate Your Faith

Christian baby names serve as important personal identity markers among followers of the Christian faith worldwide. A Christian name, also known as a baptismal name, is a religious name bestowed to a child during baptism. In English-speaking cultures, the Christian name of a person is typically their first name. In olden times, individuals were distinguished by their Christian names, while surnames were used to indicate family differences. Over centuries, however, the tradition of Christian naming has been modified by religious practices, cultural norms, and historical events.

Christian names are usually derived from biblical sources. Parents also name their children after saints, virtues, or attributes that are valued in Christian theology and culture. A child's character, faith, and relationship with God are often the determinants in selecting a Christian name. You will find many biblical Christian names such as Maria, Hannah, Gabrielle, and Simon, which have profound biblical associations. The names of saints, such as Florentina, Teresa, and Francis, are also often given to children to honor individuals who exemplified Christian virtues and principles in their lives. While there is a growing trend towards choosing names that reflect personal or familial significance beyond religious contexts in modern times, traditional Christian names still command respect and are used by families to honor the rich tradition and spiritual heritage.

Our curated list can help you find the perfect Christian baby name that reflects your faith and values. Explore the rich heritage and beauty of these names and bestow a meaningful identity upon your child.
