Usually in western culture we don’t give a lot of attention to a person’s name. It’s just a label to distinguish him / her from someone else. For example, I have the name Morris so you won’t confuse me with my father Adie or my brother Bill. Is there really any significance to the name Morris as opposed to Richard or Justin? Probably not.
You perhaps know, though, in biblical times, people’s names quite often revealed something about their character or marked some significant event in their lives.
For example, the names, Abraham, Sarah, and Isaac spoke volumes about these people. Thus, when studying a passage containing a person’s name, it’s important we discover its meaning.
The resource, The Exhaustive Dictionary of Bible Names, contained in most Logos base collections, helps us uncover that meaning. Here’s a quick way to jump to a brief definition of a biblical person’s name in that book:
