    Waverly

    Pronounced WAY-ver-lee

    girl
    Not found in the KJV text — No — the name Waverly does not appear in the King James Bible. Christian families use it for its meaning, "Meadow of quivering aspens", and for the biblical themes that meaning touches, not because anyone in Scripture is called Waverly.
    Meaning
    "Meadow of quivering aspens"
    Origin
    English

    Waverly evokes the quivering aspen — trees that tremble in the slightest breeze. Like the aspens, believers are sensitive to the Spirit's gentle movements. 'The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof.'

    Spiritual meaning

    Waverly trembles at the Spirit's whisper — sensitive to the still small voice, moved by the wind that blows where it wills.

    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.
