Origin:Hebrew
Meaning:God's lion; Strength of God
Originating from Hebrew, the boy’s name Othniel means “God’s lion” or “strength of God.” This name comes from the Christian Bible, where one of the judges of Israel is sent by the Lord to save the Israelites from oppression. After his victory, Othniel becomes a biblical hero and Israel’s first judge. Although it’s unlikely your little Othniel will have to defeat a power-hungry oppressor, you might arm them with this name, just in case! Regardless, baby will remember the subtle ferocity of their name disguised in soft syllables, just waiting for the signal to pounce.
