    Kai

    Pronounced KYE

    unisex
    Not found in the KJV text — No — the name Kai does not appear in the King James Bible. Christian families use it for its meaning, "Sea; Ocean", and for the biblical themes that meaning touches, not because anyone in Scripture is called Kai.
    Meaning
    "Sea; Ocean"
    Origin
    Hawaiian/Various

    Kai means 'sea' in Hawaiian and carries diverse meanings across cultures. In Scripture, the sea represents both the vastness of God's creation and the depths of His mercy. God's love is described as deeper than the sea, and His compassions are as unfathomable as the ocean depths.

    Spiritual meaning

    Kai speaks of the fathomless depth of God's mercy — as vast as the ocean, covering all our sins and failures.

    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.
