Baby Names Meaning Blessing or Blessed

Blessing-names overlap with gift-names but carry a slightly different texture: less about the arrival itself and more about the ongoing hope the child will be held in favour. This hub gathers names whose root meaning is blessing or blessed.

Barack and Baruch (Hebrew, 'blessed'), Benedict (Latin, 'blessed'), Beatrice ('she who blesses'), Asher (Hebrew, 'happy, blessed'), and Mabarak (Arabic) all belong here. In Igbo, Chiamaka means 'God is beautiful', and related blessing-names are widely used.
