    Owen

    Pronounced OH-en

    boy
    Not found in the KJV text — No — the name Owen does not appear in the King James Bible. Christian families use it for its meaning, "Young warrior; Well-born", and for the biblical themes that meaning touches, not because anyone in Scripture is called Owen.
    Meaning
    "Young warrior; Well-born"
    Origin
    Welsh/Irish

    Owen means 'young warrior' or 'noble born.' The name connects to the biblical examples of young warriors of faith — David as a youth facing Goliath, Timothy leading the church despite his youth, and Josiah reforming a nation as a child king.

    Spiritual meaning

    Owen celebrates youthful valor — the courage of young warriors who fight in the name of the Lord.

    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.
