    Anthem

    Pronounced AN-them

    boy
    Not found in the KJV text — No — the name Anthem does not appear in the King James Bible. Christian families use it for its meaning, "A song of praise; A hymn", and for the biblical themes that meaning touches, not because anyone in Scripture is called Anthem.
    Meaning
    "A song of praise; A hymn"
    Origin
    English/Greek

    Anthem comes from the Greek 'antiphona' meaning a responsive song. Scripture overflows with anthems of praise — Moses' song at the Red Sea, David's psalms, Mary's Magnificat, and the heavenly chorus in Revelation. The name celebrates a life that is itself a song of worship to God.

    Spiritual meaning

    Anthem declares that a human life can be a song of praise to God — every breath, every day, an offering of worship to the Creator.

    Questions about biblical name meanings

    How do I find the biblical meaning of a name?

    Type the name into the search box above. The tool returns the Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic, or Latin root behind the name, its literal meaning, and the King James Version passages where it appears.

    Does every name have a biblical meaning?

    No. Many modern Christian names never appear in Scripture, and some popular 'biblical meanings' circulating online are inaccurate. Where a name is thematic rather than scriptural, we say so plainly instead of inventing a verse for it.

    Which Bible translation do the verses come from?

    The King James Version. It is public domain in the United States, so the text can be quoted and shared freely.

    How can I tell whether a name is actually in the Bible?

    Each result distinguishes a name that appears in the KJV from a later Christian or thematic name. Related verses explain a theme; they are not presented as proof that a modern name occurs in Scripture.
