Stories Behind the Names

I love my job. Not only does this work help to support my family, but the joy of ministering to others through the meanings of their names is tremendously rewarding. We are constantly researching new names and unique spellings of names, and every few months, I receive a letter or story that underlines the inspiration and encouragement that people have found through the meaning of their name. Sometimes when I research, I stumble upon some additional history and I'm drawn to dig deeper to find the story and meaning behind the name.

Here are those name stories.

Testimonials about our Name Products & Customer Service

A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver
and gold. The rich and poor meet together: Yahweh is the maker of them all.

By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honour, and life.
Proverbs 22:1
