“A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.” – Proverbs 22:1 (NIV)God said, “Let there be light.” And there was. He named it into existence.
God said, “Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water.” And there was. He called it sky. And He called the dry ground land.
From that land, God made man. He made Adam (Earth). Then God gave the power to name to Adam.
Adam named the animals. And he named Eve (Mother of All). And that power has been given to us.
Consider the freedom that comes in naming a fear you have, or the cause of shame you hide, or the root of anger strangling you. When I own my fears, say them out loud, identify them, then I loosen the controlling grip they have over me. That’s power. That’s the power of a name.
Names are important. They contain meaning. They define who we are. And usually we’re not who we think we are.
Here are a few that I found from a couple different sources. May be right or might not. Sorry if you don't find your name. I just couldn't find it at this time or maybe yours is so unique that's it's left up to you to give it meaning. lol
