    Wendell

    Pronounced WEN-del

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

    "Wanderer; Traveler"
    Origin
    Germanic

    Wendell wanders — but not without purpose, for God guides the wanderer home. 'All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.' Wendell is the sheep brought home.

    Spiritual meaning

    Wendell is the wanderer found — sheep gone astray but sought, the lost one pursued until found, iniquity laid on the Shepherd who brings him home.

    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.
