Great post.

It is good general knowledge to know the meaning of Jewish names, but what of the meaning of our own names. Would it not make better sense to provide the meaning of such name like Osewa, Osotimehin, ikechukwu, chidinma, and thousands of other names our forefathers were called. Why the obsession with Jewish, Arabic, Greek and English names. Do the Jews bother to know the meaning of our own names?

Assignment for you: create a thread and provide the meaning of names like Osewa, Osotimehin, ikechukwu, chidinma, and thousands of other names our forefathers were called.

Yup, dats us

my name is OBASANJO and is not there... Beni ko si nbe. e bami fi oju sunuku wooo. e joooo..

@op, some of these meanings are wrong. Too many for me to point to one by one.

For example, Elijah means: 'My God is Jehovah' (not what you wrote);

Joshua (short form of Jehoshua means: 'Jehovah (God) is salvation' (Jesus means the same thing);

Nice post all the same.

Op, your interpretation is faulty. The bible passages you sited didn't defined the meaning of most of these names.

How can Mary mean Sea of bitterness

Where exactly did you get these interpretations? Until then, I am giving you 10 over 100%.

How dare you omit Rebecca (also spelled Rebekah), you no dey fear?
Now, sharap and listen.

The name Rebekah (sometimes also spelled Rebecca) has the specific meaning to tie firmly; to secure; to bind; to couple or join together; to ensnare.

Biblical origin

The name Rebekah has been around for centuries and is most commonly described as a 'biblical name' as the name is listed in the Bible. The biblical character of Rebekah is the wife of Isaac, who is the son of Abraham. Although the meaning of the name is rooted in a specific verb (to tie) and its variations, it has been widely debated as to the context and meaning of the name. Some scholars have suggested that it's meaning could go one step further than just the verb 'to tie'.

Exploring the meaning

As the name is applicable to women the name Rebekah could be defined in its most specific definition as the ensnaring or securing of a man by a woman with the use of beauty; literally to ensnare with beauty.

Others see the name Rebekah as a powerful name as the act of tying or binding can be very controlling and that control over another person is seen as a powerful sign, perhaps a sign of strength or control.

Further, the name can also be romanticized and defined as the joining or tying of two people; therefore making the definition in this context the act of connecting or binding two people together, potentially in marriage. This theory is further backed up by the wedding of Isaac and Rebekah in the Bible, as they were 'bound' or 'tied' to each other in marriage. Many agree that the wedding of Isaac and Rebekah in the Bible was the first time a veil was used in a wedding ceremony, and the veil is still used in modern weddings.
