    Mehitabel

    Pronounced meh-HIT-uh-bel

    girl
    Not found in the KJV text — No — the name Mehitabel does not appear in the King James Bible. Christian families use it for its meaning, "God does good; Benefited by God", and for the biblical themes that meaning touches, not because anyone in Scripture is called Mehitabel.
    Meaning
    "God does good; Benefited by God"
    Origin
    Hebrew

    Mehitabel appears in Genesis as the wife of an Edomite king. Her name is a beautiful theological declaration — 'God does good.' It echoes the refrain of creation when God looked at all He had made and declared it 'very good.'

    Spiritual meaning

    Mehitabel proclaims God's essential nature — He IS good, He DOES good, and every benefit in life flows from His generous hand.

    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.
