Bible Names Word Search: A New Puzzle Collection Featuring Familiar and Hidden Gems from Scripture
There’s something truly special about the names found in the Bible. Each one—whether popular or nearly forgotten—carries meaning, culture, and a unique backstory. From the heroic to the humble, the names in Scripture offer a wide range of personalities that can inspire, teach, and even shape our understanding of faith.
That’s why we’ve created a fresh edition of the Bible Names Word Search, offering 55 puzzles built from a creative mix of rich, meaningful names found in the word of God.
Perfect for Curious Minds and Name Seekers Alike
One of the most appealing aspects of this book is its potential to spark curiosity. Each puzzle is more than just a game; it’s a conversation starter. A name might catch your eye—perhaps one you’ve never heard or paid attention to before. That’s your invitation to learn more.
Have you ever come across names like:
Sosthenes – a key figure in Acts and 1 Corinthians.
Abiram – connected to one of the Old Testament’s earliest acts of rebellion.
Talmai – a name that appears more than once, connected to both royalty and giants.
Zerahiah – mentioned among those returning from exile under Ezra.
Phoebe – praised by Paul as a servant and supporter of the early church.
These puzzles offer a light-hearted way to become more familiar with lesser-known characters while reinforcing names that many already know and love—Jesus, Peter, Ruth, Boaz, Judah, Esther, Asher, and many more.

A Thoughtful Way to Search for Baby Names
This puzzle book is more than a pastime—it can be a resource for families who are considering Biblical baby names. We often think of Esther, Deborah, or Matthew, but Scripture holds a library of hidden gems just waiting to be rediscovered.
The process is simple but impactful:
Complete a puzzle. Let a name jump out at you.
Research the story behind it. Use your Bible or a study app to look it up.
Reflect on its meaning. What kind of life did that person lead? What values did they embody?
Perhaps you'll find yourself drawn to a classic like Judah or Asher—names with strong modern appeal and beautiful meanings. Or maybe you’ll connect with something more unusual, like Zipporah, Nahum, or Shaphan—names with deep roots and interesting histories that might otherwise be overlooked.
By turning a fun puzzle into a meaningful search, you transform your experience from casual entertainment into a thoughtful journey.
Engaging for Individuals, Families, and Faith-Based Groups
Whether you're solving these puzzles alone or making it a group activity, this edition offers hours of purposeful fun. It's ideal for:
Parents thinking about baby names
Bible students interested in character studies
Sunday school teachers looking for engaging tools
Homeschoolers wanting to integrate faith and learning
Small groups seeking casual, discussion-starting activities
Even casual puzzlers who simply enjoy a word search will find themselves learning as they go—without feeling like they’re studying. That’s the beauty of it. Learning happens naturally when you're exposed to names and their stories again and again, in different settings and combinations.
Building Familiarity with Scripture, One Puzzle at a Time
Let’s face it: we don’t always retain what we hear in sermons or read in passing. But when a name shows up repeatedly—in a puzzle, in a reading, in a conversation—it starts to stick. That’s one reason we kept the name list consistent between volumes while still reshuffling them completely.
This repetition with variation creates natural reinforcement. You may find yourself finally remembering how to pronounce Onesiphorus, or recalling that Jeroboam was the king who led Israel away from the House of David. You may even start recognizing these names in your Bible readings with new confidence.
The brain loves patterns and associations. This book quietly strengthens both.
What Makes This Edition Unique
Here are a few highlights that set this version apart from the original:
55 entirely new puzzles with no repeats in grid layout or name positioning.
Fresh name pairings that invite new connections between characters and stories.
Different word orientations and placements to challenge even experienced puzzlers.
Ideal for repeat customers who loved the original and are ready for more.
Stand-alone value—you don’t have to have the first book to enjoy this one!
If you've already purchased or gifted the original Bible Names Word Search, this follow-up edition is the perfect companion. And if you're just discovering the series, starting here is just as satisfying.
A Quiet Way to Grow Spiritually
So often, spiritual growth is associated with serious disciplines—prayer, fasting, study. And while those practices are deeply valuable, sometimes we overlook the power of simple, quiet engagement.
This puzzle book offers a peaceful way to stay connected to Scripture even in busy seasons. Maybe you work on a puzzle before bed, during your lunch break, or while sipping coffee in the morning. In those small, restful moments, your mind is still being shaped by the names and stories that anchor our faith.
Without pressure, without a rigid schedule, you’re still making space for Scripture in your day.
A Fun Gift for Bible Lovers
If you’re looking for a meaningful yet lighthearted gift, this book is a great option. It’s suitable for a wide range of ages—from teens to grandparents—and requires no prior Bible knowledge to enjoy. Each puzzle is an entry point for curiosity, conversation, or reflection.
It also makes a thoughtful gift for:
Baby showers (paired with a baby name book or journal)
Church volunteers
Women’s ministry events
Christian homeschool co-ops
Faith-based retirement communities
Anyone recovering from illness and needing quiet entertainment
Because the content is Scripture-based, it’s also an uplifting gift that affirms faith without being preachy.
Final Thoughts
Names matter. In the Bible, names often reflect character, calling, or destiny. Some were changed by God. Others carried blessings or warnings. Today, parents still look to Scripture when choosing names for their children, hoping to pass on a legacy of faith, purpose, and identity.

Whether you’re solving puzzles for personal relaxation or using the book as a tool for name inspiration, this remix edition is a fresh, thoughtful way to keep Biblical names at the center of your day.
