    Quinn

    Pronounced KWIN

    unisex
    Not found in the KJV text — No — the name Quinn does not appear in the King James Bible. Christian families use it for its meaning, "Wise; Chief", and for the biblical themes that meaning touches, not because anyone in Scripture is called Quinn.
    Meaning
    "Wise; Chief"
    Origin
    Irish/Gaelic

    Quinn derives from the Irish 'ceann,' meaning 'chief' or 'wise.' Wisdom is one of the greatest themes in Scripture — Proverbs declares it more valuable than rubies, and James promises that God gives wisdom generously to all who ask in faith.

    Spiritual meaning

    Quinn represents the pursuit of divine wisdom — the understanding that comes from humbly asking God for guidance.

    • "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him."

    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.
