Hattie

Pronounced HAT-ee

girl

Not found in the KJV text — No — the name Hattie does not appear in the King James Bible. Christian families use it for its meaning, "Ruler of the home", and for the biblical themes that meaning touches, not because anyone in Scripture is called Hattie.

Meaning: "Ruler of the home"
Origin: English/Germanic

Hattie rules her home with wisdom — the Proverbs 31 woman whose influence shapes generations. 'She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.' Hattie is the watchful heart of the home.

Spiritual meaning

Hattie builds her house — wise, watchful, not idle, looking well to her household, the woman whose hands build rather than tear down.

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.
