looking for a name that means "miracle"

Preconception & Pregnancy Baby Names
1

Hi Moms. I have a dumb question. Is there someway and place I can put in a meaning of a name and get name options? I am pregnant with our 3rd child. I have a thyroid condition and when I got pregnant the endocrinologist told us it was a miracle I got pregnant at all! The doctors have said that about all my kids (other fertility problems involved) My husband and I feel like this baby is a "miracle from God". I am looking for a name either boy or girl with that meaning or at least close. Here is the catch: It also has to sound good with Sierra and Isabella, my two daughters! Any suggestions on names or how to find a name from a meaning is helpful! Thanks ahead of time. Alberta

Congrats, ALberta, on your upcoming arrival! You can go to www.babynames.com and click on advanced search and search by meaning. It's near the top. There's a search bar, letters to click on to find a name beginning with a certain letter, and then it says advanced search in small print under that. Good luck finding something you love!

Naysa is Hebrew for 'Miracle of God.' Nessa is an alternate spelling, stemming from the root "Nes," which means miracle. I don't know how that might help you for a male name, unless you incorporate the letters or syllable into a name...

Someone posted the same question to Yahoo a couple of years ago. Here is the link with the answers. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070428030148AA1zJyR There are some great suggestions. Also you can just Google " name meaning miracle " . That's what I did to find the link above. There are lots of links.

I've looked through a few of the suggestions you've had so far and I really like Grace. It seems so simple and fits well with your girls' names. And I guess I'm more the traditional type, so if it's a boy I like Nathaniel and Matthew. You'll get a lot of advice - good luck! :)

What about Arianna? It means "gift from god." And I love your children's names, they're beautiful. Congratulations on your third!

I have an aunt named Milagros which means miracles in Spanish. She's called Mili, for short. Alternatively you could choose a name with symbolic meaning, such as Lourdes, a place where miracles are performed.

You are going to have a harder time with boy names, unfortunately. For either gender, you could choose the name of a saint who performed a miracle dear to your heart.

You have gotten a lot of great help. Just thought I would toss in one more. At www.google.com, right next to the logo you will see a link called "Language Tools". When you click on that it takes you to a program where you can type a word in the box and direct it to translate from English to about 40 other languages. You could try that for the word and see if any of the names can be anglicized/americanized into a name you like. I know your child will love the story of their name when they are old enough to understand. Have fun and may God be glorified in the child's life!

Nasia or Nasya is a name that means miracle of God in Hebrew

Hannah's son's name was Samuel.
Abraham and Sara had Isacc.
Elizabeth had John.

Those are ones off thetop of my head. You can always type in baby names and meanings in your serach engine too.

Good luck and continue to be blessed,
