![]() ![]() God's name is inseparable from His person. God’s name is no different and represents who God is. When God chose Abram, He renamed him Abraham which may not sound like much of a difference to us, but the new name meant “father of a multitude.” Abraham would become the father/founder of the Jewish, Muslim and Christian faiths. Pretty appropriate name for the mother of all humanity. The first woman’s name was Eve, the meaning of which is “life” or “life-giving”. In the book of Genesis, the first man was called Adam, which is simply the Hebrew word that means ”man” or “mankind”. Do they make a difference? They certainly do to the people whose parents didn’t think their children’s names out very well.īiblically, names meant much more than they do today. And Gerald Attrick becomes Jerry Attrick (geriatric). Mary Christine Smith sounds like Mary Chris Smith (Merry Christmas). Candace Dish gets shortened to Candi Dish. Wyre (barbed wire) William Board is Bill Board. ![]() The name Barbara Doris Wyre could become Barb D. Have a look at these names for instance and you may see the importance of naming our children. Names may be made up because Mom and Dad can’t agree on a name or names may be chosen because they happen to be popular that year, like when all the little girls are named Brittany and all the little boys are named Kyle. How does this one sound, or this one? How does the name sound with our last name? How about naming a daughter after my grandmother? How about naming the baby after my last girlfriend? Names can be part of a family history or they might have come from a grocery store booklet with the imaginative title “What to Name Your Baby”. They usually begin by bouncing names off one another. One of the things parents do while waiting for a child to be born is to pick a name for their baby. ![]()
