    Raven

    Pronounced RAY-ven

    unisex
    Not found in the KJV text — No — the name Raven does not appear in the King James Bible. Christian families use it for its meaning, "Dark bird", and for the biblical themes that meaning touches, not because anyone in Scripture is called Raven.
    Meaning
    "Dark bird"
    Origin
    English

    Ravens hold special significance in Scripture. God sent ravens to feed the prophet Elijah during a famine, and Jesus pointed to ravens as evidence of God's provision: 'Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap... and God feedeth them.' Even 'unclean' birds are vessels of God's care.

    Spiritual meaning

    Raven reminds us that God uses unexpected means to provide — His care extends through the most unlikely messengers.

    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.
