Baby Girl Names, Naming Your Baby

#1 Ab-i-gail

From not even being on the chart at all, this beautiful Biblical baby name has grown to popularity since the 1950’s. A Hebrew name meaning a source of joy. She was Nabal’s wife in the Book of Samuel.

#2 Ash-ley

Believe it or not this Biblical name can be used for both a girl or boy. With the origin of Hebrew and also England, this happens to be a very popular name. For girls, it has climbed at a steady pace since the 1960’s. It was popular for boys in the 1980’s, it has since dropped out of the chart completely. This name means from the ash tree.

#3 E-liz-a-beth

Such a fairly common name yet beautiful Biblical baby girl name all at the same time. You can make a few short names from this name, such as Beth or Liz. Elizabeth means consecrated to God. Elizabeth was the mother to John the Baptist. John actually knew the Messiah was going to be born when Mary (the mother of Jesus) and Elizabeth were talking to one another. He responded by “leaping in her womb”. She, too was blessed to give birth at her age and to a great man of God, who had one purpose and that was to baptise unto repentance. He even baptised Jesus, because He was a perfect example for us.
