12 Biblical Girl Names That Start with B

Looking for a Bible-inspired name for a baby girl? If you like names that begin with the letter B, here are some ideas you might want to consider.

• Bathsheba. A ponderous name borrowed from one of the wives of King David and the mother of King Solomon.
• Bela. A biblical male name and place name that has reinvented itself as a girls' name.
• Belah. A variation of Bela.
• Berea. A biblical city mentioned in the New Testament in connection to Paul's missionary journeys. As a baby name, Berea has yet to take off.
• Berenice. A variation of Bernice.
• Beri. This name is listed in the Bible as a male descendant of Jacob's son Asher, but in the contemporary U.S., it might be better suited for a girl.
• Bernice. Redolent of times gone by, this retro name with biblical roots and the built-in nickname Bernie is yours for the taking.
• Bethany. A biblical place name that works beautifully as a given name.
• Bethel. This name showed some panache in the late 1910s and early 1920s, but has failed to appeal to the masses. Appearing frequently as a place name in the Old Testament, the biblical meaning of Bethel is "House of God".
• Bethlehem. This famous biblical site has yet to come of age as a baby name.
• Bethsaida. Biblical place name: Bethsaida is the hometown of the apostles Peter, Andrew and Philip.
• Beulah. Yet another biblical place that doubles as a baby name.
