    Clemency

    Pronounced KLEM-en-see

    girl
    Not found in the KJV text — No — the name Clemency does not appear in the King James Bible. Christian families use it for its meaning, "Mercy; Mildness; Compassion", and for the biblical themes that meaning touches, not because anyone in Scripture is called Clemency.
    Meaning
    "Mercy; Mildness; Compassion"
    Origin
    Latin/English

    Clemency is mercy shown — and blessed are the merciful. 'Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.' Clemency gives what she has received from the God of all compassion.

    Spiritual meaning

    Clemency loves mercy — blessed in giving, obtaining in return, the compassionate soul who walks humbly with the God who requires kindness.

    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.
