Our list of Bible names for boys includes less-used sacred names, as well as many of the favourites you’re likely familiar with. As you plan for the arrival of your baby, this list should be a timesaver for you.

Biblical Names for Boys and Meanings

74. Paul

A Latin name, Paul means small.

Paul is a name that has appealed to parents from generation to generation.

75. Perez
