Vesper

Pronounced VES-pur

girl

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

Meaning: "Evening star; Evening prayer"
Origin: Latin

Vesper refers to the evening — the time of day when the psalmist offers his evening sacrifice of praise. Evening prayers have been a Christian practice for millennia, and the evening star is a symbol of hope in gathering darkness.

Spiritual meaning

Vesper is the evening prayer rising like incense — the faithful habit of ending each day in God's presence.

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.
