    Zinnia

    Pronounced ZIN-ee-uh

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

    Zinnia represents remembrance — the spiritual discipline of not forgetting what God has done. 'Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth.' Memory is an act of worship.

    Spiritual meaning

    Zinnia is remembrance — the colorful flower of memory that blooms when we recall God's marvellous works and faithful ways.

    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.
