    Rowan

    Pronounced ROH-an

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

    Rowan refers to the rowan tree, known for its resilient red berries. Trees in Scripture symbolize strength, rootedness, and fruitfulness. The righteous are compared to trees planted by streams of water, and the Tree of Life in Revelation bears fruit for the healing of nations.

    Spiritual meaning

    Rowan represents resilient faith — like a strong tree bearing fruit through every season, deeply rooted in 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.
