    Norbert

    Pronounced NOR-bert

    boy
    Not found in the KJV text — No — the name Norbert does not appear in the King James Bible. Christian families use it for its meaning, "Bright north; Famous hero of the north", and for the biblical themes that meaning touches, not because anyone in Scripture is called Norbert.
    Meaning
    "Bright north; Famous hero of the north"
    Origin
    Germanic

    Norbert is the bright north — and God's dwelling is in the sides of the north. 'Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.' Norbert points to God's majestic throne.

    Spiritual meaning

    Norbert shines from the north — beautiful Zion, joy of the earth, the bright hero who points to the terrible majesty of God.

    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.
