Have you ever considered that the names in the Bible are of special significance. I have learned through diving and digging into other Bible studies by different authors as well as studying the word on my own; each and every person’s name has a meaning behind. Sometimes the names of people were often symbolic of things that were yet to come or the Lord had a special name changes in both Old Testament and the New Testament. Here are just a few examples :
Old Testament Names (Why were the name changes significant in history and to the people who had them?)
Abram to Abraham (Genesis 17:5), Sari to Sarah( Genesis 17:15) and Jacob to Israel Genesis 32:28)
New Testament Names
Simon to Peter (Mark 3:16), Saul to Paul (Acts 13:9)
What does Zechariah mean and what are the common English names for Zechariah?
The Transliteration of this Name can be found by looking at Strong’s Concordance at http://www.blueletterbible.org.

Why is the name Zechariah and the meaning of his significant in regards to the Nation of Israel and it’s history?
Have you ever thought about the meaning of your names and why they are significant to the Lord? For a long time I did not go by first name after the age of thirteen. I used my full name in the last post. One could surf the web in search of the meaning of their or they could seek the LORD and Ask HIM what your name means.
