    Delphine

    Pronounced del-FEEN

    girl
    Not found in the KJV text — No — the name Delphine does not appear in the King James Bible. Christian families use it for its meaning, "Dolphin; From Delphi", and for the biblical themes that meaning touches, not because anyone in Scripture is called Delphine.
    Meaning
    "Dolphin; From Delphi"
    Origin
    Greek/French

    Delphine evokes the sea creatures that declare God's dominion over the deep. 'The sea is his, and he made it.' Marine life in Scripture demonstrates that God's creative power reaches even the deepest waters.

    Spiritual meaning

    Delphine dives into the depths of God's creation — the great and wide sea teeming with wonders that declare His power.

    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.
