From the same tradition

Other Christian boy names, common in European families

Liam
Irish diminutive of William (Uilliam), from Germanic 'wil' (will) + 'helm' (helmet). Global phenomenon.
Noah
Rest, comfort, repose, from Hebrew Noach, linked to the root meaning to rest or bring relief. Borne in scripture by the builder of the ark who outlasted the flood, it has stayed in continuous Western use and now sits among the most-given boys' names worldwide.
Oliver

Sharing the same meaning

Other Christian boy names from the Divine cluster

Elijah
My God is Yahweh, the fiery prophet who rode a chariot to heaven — Elijah challenged the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel, called fire from the sky, and was taken up to heaven in a whirlwind without dying. His name burns with the absolute devotion of a man who stood alone against an entire kingdom's apostasy and won, armed with nothing but conviction and the fire of the one true God
Theodore
Gift of God, heaven's offering to the mortal world — Theodore reverses the syllables of Dorothy to create the same meaning from a masculine angle: God gives. Multiple saints and two American presidents carried this name, and it speaks of gratitude for the divine generosity that places children into families, talents into hands, and purpose into hearts that were waiting to be filled
Jack
God is gracious, by way of Jankin, a medieval English pet form of John (from Hebrew Yohanan, 'Yahweh is gracious'). Once a familiar nickname, it long ago outgrew that role to stand on its own and has repeatedly topped boys' name charts across Britain.
