Biblical Names by Themes (Hope, Grace, Peace, Strength, Light, Love & More)
Many families choose biblical names by theme because it’s the fastest way to narrow choices. Instead of browsing hundreds of names, you start with the message you want the name to carry—hope for the future, grace, peace, strength, light, love, wisdom, or blessing.
This guide maps biblical-friendly names into clear theme directions. Some names match themes through literal meaning; others connect through story and association. If you need strict literal meanings only, verify each pick with a reputable reference.
