Horatio
Pronounced hoh-RAY-shee-oh
boy
Not found in the KJV text — No — the name Horatio does not appear in the King James Bible. Christian families use it for its meaning, "Timekeeper; Man of the hour", and for the biblical themes that meaning touches, not because anyone in Scripture is called Horatio.
