    Wycliffe

    Pronounced WIK-lif

    boy
    Not found in the KJV text — No — the name Wycliffe does not appear in the King James Bible. Christian families use it for its meaning, "White cliff; From the white cliff", and for the biblical themes that meaning touches, not because anyone in Scripture is called Wycliffe.
    Meaning
    "White cliff; From the white cliff"
    Origin
    English

    John Wycliffe was the 'Morning Star of the Reformation' who first translated the Bible into English in the 14th century. He believed every person should read Scripture in their own language — a conviction that changed history and cost him everything.

    Spiritual meaning

    Wycliffe honors the conviction that God's Word belongs to all people — the courage to translate Scripture changed the course of civilization.

    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.
