Encyclopedia > List of Biblical names starting with A

This is a list of names from the Bible, taken from the 19th century public domain resource:

Hitchcock's New and Complete Analysis of the Holy Bible by Roswell D. Hitchcock, New York: A. J. Johnson, 1874, c1869.

Each name is given with its meaning. Please note that

  • Some of these names, such as Ebenezer, never refer to a human in the Bible -- the names of cities, countries, angels, gods, mountains, etc.
  • Some people in the Bible aren't listed here, because their names are not in the Bible. See list of names for the Biblical nameless for various names bestowed on these people.
  • Sometimes the same name refers to several individuals in the Bible -- for example, there are 3 people named Joseph.

The original version was taken from http://www.ccel.org/bible_names/title.html which attributes the text to the public domain.
