    Seraphina

    Pronounced sair-ah-FEE-nah

    girl
    Not found in the KJV text — No — the name Seraphina does not appear in the King James Bible. Christian families use it for its meaning, "Burning one; Fiery angel; Seraph", and for the biblical themes that meaning touches, not because anyone in Scripture is called Seraphina.
    Meaning
    "Burning one; Fiery angel; Seraph"
    Origin
    Hebrew

    Seraphina is the burning angel — and the seraphim cry 'Holy, holy, holy.' 'Above it stood the seraphims... And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.' Seraphina burns with worship.

    Spiritual meaning

    Seraphina cries holy — six wings covering, the earth full of glory, the burning angel whose fiery worship declares the holiness of 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.
