If you've been dreaming of a little one to hold close, Shaul could be the perfect name for your new arrival. A variant of the Hebrew Saul, Shaul means "asked for" or "borrowed" from the Hebrew sha'al. In the Old Testament, Saul was chosen as the first King of Israel, paving the way for his successor, David, who went on to become a great leader in his own right. Saul led many military victories and inspired those around him, especially David and his son Jonathan, to rise to the challenge when he couldn't. This masculine name carries a sweet sense of hope and purpose—just like your little one!
