    Quintessa

    Pronounced kwin-TES-ah

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

    Quintessa is the essence — and knowing God is the essence of eternal life. 'And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.' Quintessa's essence is divine knowledge.

    Spiritual meaning

    Quintessa knows the essence of life — eternal knowledge, resurrection power, fellowship of sufferings, the soul whose existence is defined by knowing 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.
