    Viola

    Pronounced vy-OH-lah

    girl
    Not found in the KJV text — No — the name Viola does not appear in the King James Bible. Christian families use it for its meaning, "Violet; Purple flower", and for the biblical themes that meaning touches, not because anyone in Scripture is called Viola.
    Meaning
    "Violet; Purple flower"
    Origin
    Latin/Italian

    Viola is the violet — modest and fragrant, growing quietly in God's garden. 'The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.' Viola's beauty may fade, but the Word she lives by endures.

    Spiritual meaning

    Viola blooms knowing the Word endures — flesh as grass, glory fading, yet the word of the Lord standing forever, the violet who lives by eternal truth.

    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.
