    Ultan

    Pronounced UL-tan

    boy
    Not found in the KJV text — No — the name Ultan does not appear in the King James Bible. Christian families use it for its meaning, "Man of Ulster; Bearded one", and for the biblical themes that meaning touches, not because anyone in Scripture is called Ultan.
    Meaning
    "Man of Ulster; Bearded one"
    Origin
    Irish/Gaelic

    Ultan is the man of his land — and God placed every person in their appointed time and place. 'And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation.' Ultan is exactly where God placed him.

    Spiritual meaning

    Ultan is divinely placed — times appointed, bounds determined, known before the belly, the man sanctified for his exact place and purpose.

    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.
