Do you know what your name means?

We love asking that question, because we love giving the answer! Names can have such rich and insightful meanings that encourage, motivate and inspire.  My name, John, is a continual reminder that I am here for the blessing of others, whether it be to a stranger through a smile, to my children with a guiding hand, or to you, right here and right now through these unique name meaning gifts. Click here to ask me the meaning of your name! It would be a joy to meet you! And in doing that, I’d be living up to the meaning of my name, John: Gift of God: One with Good News.

I hope the name meaning gifts you find on this website will encourage and inspire you and those you're buying them for. You can put any name (even unique ones) on any design for Plaques, Coffee Mugs, Keepsake NameBoxes, or WidePlaques! Each Name Gift includes the origin, cultural meaning, Life meaning, and a hand-picked Bible verse that connects with the meaning.

We carefully research the historical or cultural origins of each name with our bookshelf full of name meaning books and online resources like www.BehindTheName.com. After the academic side is done, we always look for the encouraging, positive aspects of a name's meaning, and see how it can be applied to a person's character and personality in a Biblical way.  There are many great examples of this on our NameStories page, which is a collection of inspirational histories behind the meaning of a name.

We have quite a collection of fascinating and encouraging stories about the meanings of names on our NameStories page, and I've just started publishing some of our work on the Names of God as well. Name Meaning Gifts may be my business and ministry, but my passion is to glorify The Name of God, and I love to write about the many insights and applications that His name has on our lives today.
