    Jorvik

    Pronounced YOR-vik

    boy
    Not found in the KJV text — No — the name Jorvik does not appear in the King James Bible. Christian families use it for its meaning, "Horse bay; Wild horse inlet", and for the biblical themes that meaning touches, not because anyone in Scripture is called Jorvik.
    Meaning
    "Horse bay; Wild horse inlet"
    Origin
    Norse

    Jorvik is the wild horse restrained by the bay — power channeled by boundaries. 'Do you give the horse his might? Do you clothe his neck with a mane?' God asks Job. Jorvik is divine power channeled through created limits.

    Spiritual meaning

    Jorvik is power in the bay — the wild strength God gives, clothed in thunder yet channeled by divine understanding.

    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.
