    Thalassa

    Pronounced thah-LAS-ah

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

    Thalassa is the sea — and God's thoughts toward His people outnumber the grains of sand. 'How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand.' Thalassa carries the immensity of God's love.

    Spiritual meaning

    Thalassa holds God's precious thoughts — more than sand, sins cast into her depths, compassion returning, the sea whose immensity mirrors God's unfathomable love.

    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.
