Showing the Meaning of Nearly All the Names
of Persons and Places in the Bible

Note:
It should be observed that there is uncertainty about the derivation of some of some
words in Hebrew,
so that some of the following names may have either of several meanings.
There are also some whose meaning, from a variety of circumstances, are altogether
obscure or uncertain.
These are omitted from this dictionary.
