The quiet power of a biblical name
Biblical girl names carry weight that doesn't age. Hannah means favor. Naomi means pleasantness. Eliana means "my God has answered." These are names that have already been spoken in prayer for thousands of years — yours adds one more voice to that long, soft chorus.
Modern + biblical: the best of both
Selah, Eden, Genesis, Eliana and Jada all blend ancient meaning with a thoroughly modern sound. Perfect for parents who want roots without anything that feels heavy or dated.
