There really is such a significance in a name. For two years, I have thought about names I would give to my kids. I am obsessed with the endingĀ ā-iahā! So I made up the name Ezeriah, which comes from my obsession with the Hebrew wordĀ āezerā. I favor the name Jedediah, meaningĀ ābeloved of the Lordā. I just discoveredĀ āGedaliahā for a boy, meaningĀ āGod has made greatā. I also just discoveredĀ āKeziahā, the second of Jobās daughters. This one I cannot shorten because it would take away beauty. Meaning of Keziah: cinnamon. And the significance of cinnamon is this:
āāI have perfumed my bed with aloes, cinnamon, and myrrh.ā Proverbs 7:17
The primary root of the wordĀ ācinnamonāĀ means emitting an odor, while spiritually it speaks of holiness and set-apartness. In the Song of Soloman, cinnamon grows in a locked garden that Yeshua calls my sister, my spouse (Song of Soloman 4:12-14).
Thanks be to God, who always leads us triumphant in Christ, and manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge in Him in every place. For we are a fragrance of Christ to God (2 Cor. 2:14-15).ā

I may have to just birth and adopt enough kids just for the sake of being able to give names! I hope I can have enough for every name I end of loving! hahaha
