    Kingsley

    Pronounced KINGZ-lee

    boy
    Not found in the KJV text — No — the name Kingsley does not appear in the King James Bible. Christian families use it for its meaning, "King's meadow; Royal clearing", and for the biblical themes that meaning touches, not because anyone in Scripture is called Kingsley.
    Meaning
    "King's meadow; Royal clearing"
    Origin
    English

    Kingsley is the king's meadow — and we are in the meadow of the King of Kings. 'The earth is the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.' Kingsley dwells in the meadow that belongs to the sovereign LORD.

    Spiritual meaning

    Kingsley grazes in God's pasture — the earth belonging to the LORD, sheep of His hand, the royal clearing where the King tends His flock.

    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.
