Names That Mean Blessed or Holy
Bennett and Benicio both come from the Latin for blessed, Asher is “happy, blessed” in Hebrew, Winifred carries “blessed peacemaking” from Wales, and Megumi and Keiko say blessing in Japanese. Diana and Dev mean divine outright. Blessed names are a quiet way of saying what most parents feel at the first sight of a newborn, and most of them sound gentle enough to say every day for a lifetime.
