20 Biblical Boy Names That Start With T

When it comes to biblical boy names that start with T, Thomas and Timothy are right there on top of the list. But there are still plenty of T-names there for the taking for those who prefer something less common. Whether your ideal baby name is a well-loved classic that never seems to go out of style or an unusual appellation that barely registers on the popularity radar, we've got you covered. So sit back, grab a coffee, and look closely: you just might find the perfect moniker for your new arrival on this list.

1. Thomas. Choose this and your son will have a lot of interesting namesakes: Thomas the Apostle, Saint Thomas, president Thomas Jefferson, inventor Thomas Edison—the list goes on.
2. Timothy. This currently underused name brings together a solid New Testament legacy, a nature link (think timothy grass), and a long list of famous namesakes.
3. Tobias. Familiar but not chart-toppingly popular, this name appears in The Book of Tobit, which is included in some but not all Christian canons.
4. Titus. Readily recognizable but not a mainstream favorite, this New Testament name has a strong biblical provenance and a modern sound.
5. Tadeo. The Spanish version of Thaddeus.
6. Thaddeus. In the biblical narrative, Thaddeus is one of the original twelve disciples chosen by Jesus.
7. Tiago. The Portuguese equivalent of the English James.
8. Tiberius. Not much is known about the biblical Tiberius other than that he was Caesar during Jesus' late adolescence, adulthood and execution.
9. Theophilus. This name comes from the Ancient Greek elements theos, meaning God, and philo, meaning 'loving'. In the Bible, Theophilus is the addressee of the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles.
10. Tobiah. An alternative to Tobias—with a less cool biblical bearer.
11. Tekoa. The name of both a biblical place and person.
12. Tabor. The first name on our list takes its biblical inspiration from Mount Tabor.
13. Tiberias. This one traces its biblical roots to the New Testament, where we learn about the Sea of Tiberias, also known as the Sea of Galilee. Not to be confused with Tiberius.
14. Tiras. This name gets its biblical credentials from a brief appearance in the Old Testament as one of Japheth's sons.
15. Tahan. This name derives its biblical significane from belonging to a descendant of Ephraim and the progenitor of a family called the Tahanites.
16. Teman. The name Teman appears in the Bible as both a place name and a male name.
17. Tertius. This name comes from the New Testament, where it belongs to the scribe to whom Paul dictated his Epistle to the Romans.
18. Tilon. This name is listed in the biblical genealogies as a son of Shimon.
19. Timon. This name traces it biblical roots to the New Testament, where it appears as the name of one of the first seven deacons chosen by the apostles to help serve the early Christian community in Jerusalem.
20. Tychicus. A long-winded New Testament name with elusive pronunciation.
