Barnabas

For the baby you might want to bring up in faith, we have a name for you that you might consider. The Greek boy’s name Barnabas is said to come from Aramaic and means “son of the prophet” or “son of encouragement.” In the Bible, Barnabas was a disciple known for his mentoring and support. He was originally named Joseph but received the nickname Barnabas for his notable encouragement to others. This was shown when Barnabas befriended and recommended Saul to the church. Maybe your little one will take inspiration and be a source of comfort and inspiration to others in their life as they grow older.
