Baby names that mean blessing
By Julia, founder of Lucky Names
Every language eventually turned gratitude into a name.
Latin benedictus, well spoken of, blessed, produced Bennett in England, Benito in Spain and Bento in Portugal: three countries agreeing on one feeling. Hebrew gave Asher, happy and blessed, straight out of Genesis. Arabic offers Saeed. If you want the name itself to say thank you every time it is called across a park, this is the family to shop in.
Each name below comes with its real standing in the official US Social Security Administration records.

A blessing name is the rare gift that thanks the giver. Someone will say it a hundred thousand times; make sure it means something worth repeating.
