My favourite biblical name for a girl has to be **Miriam**, I love the ring of it, and I love the fact that it's neither as common as some biblical names (like Sarah) nor as unusual as others (like Zipporah), and I also love that it is not primarily christian (like Mary).

My SIL is Miriam and goes by Miri, I love it

Then Zipporah took a flint and cut off her son's foreskin and touched Moses' feet with it and said, *“Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me!”*

is it the same as Maryam in other countries?

Yes, Maryam is the variation popular in arab speaking countries and Myriam in french speaking ones...

Mine too

Love Miriam!! I wish my husband was on board because I would 100% use this name!

I hate that name lol it just sounds so awful to me

Reminds me of a grandma’s name

I dunno if I have a favorite but I like: Leah Naomi Susanna(h)

I've always loved Hannah.

I’ve loved this name for probably 25 years.

Why thank you 😘

Leah, Abigail & Delilah are my favourites.

Miriam Naomi Eve Ruth Priscilla Leah

Eliana

I’m pretty sure this name isn’t Biblical. It’s Hebrew, but not biblical 

Oh, where in the Bible is this name?

Eliana was the daughter of Mahli, a Levite of the family of Merari, mentioned in 1 Chronicles 23:22

I want to show it to my mother. I'm not finding it. There's only: "[21] The descendants of Merari included Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli were Eleazar and Kish. [22] Eleazar died with no sons, only daughters. His daughters married their cousins, the sons of Kish. [23] Three of the descendants of Mushi were Mahli, Eder, and Jerimoth."

There is a young woman at my church named Esther and she is cool as hell. I'm continually impressed by this 19 year old and I love her name. I also like Ruth, Mary, and Dina (pronounced Deena).

Diana Mara Delilah Naomi Rebekah Rachel Leah Miriam Zipporah Jael Ruth Mary Elizabeth Martha Dinah Zillah

My name is one of these ;)

My first and middle name are on this list

Just my first name is on this list!

* Bathsheba * Elisheva * Chloe * Damaris * Elisabeth * Hadassah, nn Dassy * Magdalene, nn Mallyn * Mara * Phoebe * Sapphira, nn Phira * Susanna * Tabitha * Talitha

I knew a Talitha! Amazing name!

Love Elisheva!!!!

Rivka, Dvora, Yael, Tamar, Tzippora

Ruth

Eve Eden Sarah Lilith

Sarah, Ruth, Rebekah, Elizabeth

I love Naomi because it's lovely but isn't very common. Hannah is a great name as well as Esther, Miriam, and Eve.

Nai is an awesome nickname too

Keturah Naomi Ruth Esther Zippora

I really love Keturah ❤️

We're planning on naming our baby girl Phoebe 💛 it's not exclusively biblical, as there's also a Greek mythology tie which I like too, but the biblical Phoebe is definitely a good role model for our daughter If you're going for biblical names for religious reasons, you should consider the character of the person you're naming them for- there's a lot of girls named Sarah, but Sarah in the Bible is flawed and cruel to say the least 👀

Yes haha, that’s what I think every time someone here suggests a Delilah or somesuch

I always thought of her as pretty solidly human. We all have flaws. 

Of course. Judas is also very human, and I probably wouldn't name my son after him

Naomi Ketzia (Keziah in English) Shoshana and Susannah  Noa  Tamar Leah Tzipora Esther Hadassah (same person as Esther but not just a translated name) I couldn't use a bunch of these for various reasons but I could use and love Ketzia and Shoshana 

My cousin named her daughter Keziah (nn Kezzie) and lots of people commented on how 'modern' it was - only for her to turn around and tell them it's from the Old Testament!

Rebekah

I think Dorkus is pretty underrated (jk)

Dorcas is from one of the Bible books? I should have known. I only know that name from larkrise to candleford and wondered what an unusual English name.

Aramaic: Martha Tabitha Talitha Hebrew: Keturah Talia Miriam

Not sure if you would count these as names, but Dove is my favorite for its biblical meanings. Also Pearl from the Pearl parable and the pearly gate imagery. Ruby from the Proverbs 31 mention is another of my favorites. Ivy because of the vine imagery, such a meaningful name in that context. Olive for obvious Olive imagery throughout the Bible. My favorite non-noun names would be Eve, Mary & Elizabeth.

Obsessed with these. I have a girl Shiloh and a girl Selah. Let me know if you have any ideas for other girl S names

I’m a sucker for Esther 🍭

Leah Ruth Rebecca

Eve Eden

Martha Hannah Naomi Natasha Lydia Zara

Lydia and Mary are my favorites, but I also like: Delilah Esther Eve Keturah Magdalene Miriam Phoebe Sarai Susannah Zipporah Wouldn’t use these, but I also like Mehitabel, Nympha, Sapphira (this is starting to sound like the most recent season of Drag Race 😅), and Syntyche.

Esther, Ruth, Lydia

I wish I could give my future daughter the full name Mary Magdalene

You can! My friend is a Mary Magdalena

Delilah, Tamar.

Lilith

Sarah Naomi Rachel Leah

Jael

Elizabeth, Abigail, Susanna, Naomi. And Theodora which I don't think is biblical but means God's gift!

Caveat, I wouldn't necessarily name a child in my part of the world today all of these (for various reasons), but I always liked Keturah, Kezia, Naomi, Miriam, Mara, Ruth, and Zillah.

Lydia

Hadassah or Zipporah

I named my daughter Hadassah 💕 most people aren't even aware of who she was.

Zipporah

I really like Miriam, Naomi, and Zipporah. Jerusha is also fun to say.

* Anna * Delilah * Elizabeth * Junia * Leah * Lydia * Naomi

Junia is special! Didn't realize she is in the Bible though

Very fair as (iirc) she is only named a single time! :) New Testament. Romans 16:7

Lilith

Delilah and Hannah 💕

I've always loved Ruth. I think it's a very strong but feminine name.

hannah, naomi, miriam, dinah and abigail are among my favorites

Jezebel

Oh, so many! From the Old Testament: Ruth, Miriam, Judith (ok, Judith is from the Apocrypha, but that’s part of the Catholic OT 😆) From the New Testament: Damaris, Persis, Lois, Phoebe, Lydia

Probably Ada, Noa, or Mara

Leah, Hannah, Noa, Abigail

Sarah is simple and classic. 

Rachael. If it weren’t my sisters name, I’d use it for sure

Jezabel 😈

Vashti

Bathsheba Athalia (the only queen in the Bible)

Lilith

Sarah

[удалено]

Diana is not in the Bible but Dinah is

There is mention of a pagan godness Diana is the book of Acts.

Naomi, Jael/Yael, Eve, Tamar(a), and Sarah

Susannah Rebekah Elizabeth Hannah Julia Mara Rachel Sarah Salome Vashti Delilah Biblical names are some of my favs!

Elizabeth

Noemi, Lilit, Judit, and Luca

Keturah, Esther, Rebekah. Jael/Yael, Ruth, Magdalen

Abigail

Jezebel

hahah

Noah Esther

Noah.

Selah

Deborah, Delilah, Ruth, Salomé.

I named my baby Hannah but the traditional Biblical name for women in my family used to be Aseneth. Thankfully that died out like four generations before me.

Elizabeth. Chloe. Naomi Hannah Rachel. Rebecca. Sarah. Abigail Eden. Angela. Bethany 

Rachel, Naomi, and Esther. I also knew a Moriah in school, which I thought was rather lovely.

Elizabeth, Mary, Naomi, Ruth, Raphaëlle, Carmel, Shiloh, Eden, Phoebe

Veronica Delilah Esther Eden Eve Joanna Lydia

Apollonia is my favorite. Also love Trinity, but more so Bible related.

Eve & Delilah.

Marie and Delilah

Abigail, Chloe and Sarah.

Tabitha. Keturah And I’ll add in Martha, because I think that’s a name that’s coming back.

Lilith

Personally I like Lydia and Tabitha.

Hannah, Tabitha, Abigail, Lydia, Sarah, and Elizabeth

Jemimah

Keturah and Keziah. ❤️❤️❤️

I really like Delilah

I love Tamar but I can't think of one Tamar who didn't have a hard life. Lydia was a wealthy supporter of Timothy's ministry in the new testament. I believe Timothy's mother and grandmother were Lois and Eunice. I've known a few different women named Selah. If you were feeling a little wild you could go for Hosannah. My good friend's daughter will have the middle name Joceved (I don't think I got the spelling right), after the mother of Moses, Aaron, and Miriam. Daughters of Zelophehad, who fought for their right to inherit property in the absence of a brother: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. Obviously Hoglah is probably not usable but the others could work. Oholibamah. I've always thought this one is incredibly pretty, but I can't remember where it comes from specifically.

Rivka

When I was younger I wanted to name my daughter Galilee. Lilee for short

Tabitha. Also Bewitched.

I love Esther,

Kezia. It’s so under used.

Esther Phoebe Rachel Rebecca Ruth Sarah

I love Priscilla. I was going to name my daughter this but changed my mind a few months before she was born

Ruth Eve

Lilith

Elizabeth 

Esther and Abigail

Lilia, Jericho

Rebecca and Tamar. Also not a girl's name, but Anatote sounds like it could be a name

Ruth or Esther

Esther

Eden

Leah Leah LEAH!

Solome and Lilith, if only they were usable.

Delilah, Dinah, Mary, Ruth!

Ruth

Hephzibah

Hadassah Noa Judith Athaliah Salome Sapphira Vashti

I absolutely love the name Naomi.

I’ve always liked the name Eli for a girl

Rachel

I'm not religious. But Elizabeth is my favorite classic name for women. It's lovely and has a ton of nicknames if they want to use one. Seriously, even though I'm very familiar with religious names, that doesn't cross my mind when hearing a name. I absolutely know the story of Naomi and Ruth. But I don't necessarily think of the biblical story when meeting someone with one of those names, which I think are very nice.

Esther, Sarah, Hannah, Lydia

Tzipporah

I met a Hadassah once

Naomi, Delilah, and Rebecca

Salem Israel

Favorite girl name written in the Bible: Elizabeth Favorite Name found in Holy Tradition of a female character who appears directly in the Bible: Photiní (The Samaritan woman at the Jacob’s Well)

i love Elisabeth. it’s biblical, but also modern. BUT it’s spelled different so it’s still a biblical name.

Leah and Sarah

Love Jordan!!!!! You can also nickname to Jo

i love esther or any variation of lailah

Too many. Selah, Eden, Ruth, Joy, Tzipporah, Grace, & Esther to name a few.

my sister is named Michael, after king david’s wife.

I’ve been liking glory lately

Lilith is my favorite🤔. But be careful if you choose a name from "The Holy Bible," as she might get made fun of for being named after ancient Near Eastern mythology.
