Cute baby names with religious meanings behind them?

Me and my husband are having a baby (don't know what sex it is yet) and we want it to have a religious meaning behind it like our names. My name (Giovanna) means God is Gracious and his name (Dominic) means Belonging to God. And we just want for our child to have a name like that. For example the name Christian, which means Follower of God.



But, it can't be a name straight from the bible, I don't really like them that much (they're not that cute). A name that's kinda unique (like people have it as a name, but not many), but still really nice. Boy and Girl's names.

How about:

Nathan meaning He Gave

Nathaniel meaning Gift of God



My daughter's name is Natalie.
Just try the www.namepedia.org site. It's better then all the sites cited above and you will find your names. Good luck! :)
ISAIAH ,JOSHUA, JEREMIAH
My son's name is Evan and it is a form of John that also means *just like yours!* God is gracious! Evan is actually the only name that my husband and I agreed on, and we absolutely love it! (For the record, his middle name is Michael...which is my husband's middle name, which means "Who is like God". Good luck on your search :)
Charis (pron: CARE-iss) means grace.



Armo is a Finnish men's name that also means grace.

What about something like Keziah, Vashti or Dara? All are names used in the Bible, but not the typical Mary, Eve, Naomi, Sarah, etc., so perhaps they'll still appeal? There's also Talitha ("little girl" in Aramaic), Evangeline (good news), Serafina (Italian version of Seraphina, named for the seraphim order of angels) and Verity (truth), which seem along the same lines as you'd wanted.



Boys are a bit harder, since actual Biblical options like Asher (happy or blessed), Levi, Ezra and Jude are coming to mind. ;) You could, however, consider using a translation of one of the more common Bible names, such as your own name, Giovanna (feminine Italian form of John). Ian, Evan, Eoin (said Owen) or Sean are all Celtic versions of the same name, so they'd all have the same meaning as yours and, in essence, be named for you. ;) Here's an entire list of other forms of John: http://www.behindthename.com/php/transla鈥?/a>



Likewise, you might consider this approach for the girl names. For instance, just because Mary or Elizabeth might not appeal doesn't mean you wouldn't like Moira, Maura, Mairenn (rhymes with Lauren), Isobel, Sabella or Elspeth, know what I mean? Those are just examples, but hopefully it makes sense. ;)



Hope that helps, and good luck!
