Names and Their Meanings

Names Are Important

What is your name?

Do you know what your name means? Do you know why your parents gave you your name? Almost every name has a meaning. John means ‘God is gracious.’ Sarah means’princess’. Matthew means ‘gift of God’, Cheryl means ‘Filled with grace’.

God loves you and he knows your name. He even says so in Isaiah 43:1: ‘I have (called) you by name, you are mine.’
