    Lavinia

    Pronounced lah-VIN-ee-ah

    girl
    Not found in the KJV text — No — the name Lavinia does not appear in the King James Bible. Christian families use it for its meaning, "Purity; Woman of Rome", and for the biblical themes that meaning touches, not because anyone in Scripture is called Lavinia.
    Meaning
    "Purity; Woman of Rome"
    Origin
    Latin

    Lavinia is a classic Latin name associated with purity and nobility. In the context of early Christianity, Rome was both the center of persecution and the place where the Gospel spread most powerfully. The name speaks to the refined faith that emerges under pressure.

    Spiritual meaning

    Lavinia represents the unashamed faith that stands firm even in the most hostile environments.

    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.
