    Valencia

    Pronounced vuh-LEN-see-uh

    girl
    Not found in the KJV text — No — the name Valencia does not appear in the King James Bible. Christian families use it for its meaning, "Brave; Strong; Vigorous", and for the biblical themes that meaning touches, not because anyone in Scripture is called Valencia.

    Origin
    Latin/Spanish

    Valencia is brave and strong — and God commands courage. 'Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.' Valencia goes wherever God sends.

    Spiritual meaning

    Valencia goes with courage — the LORD beside her, never forsaken, strong and undismayed, the brave soul who follows wherever God leads.

    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.
