Breaking The Jewish Code Perry Stone

I am named after my father, Perry Stone Sr. My father’s father gave him the name Perry. His middle name, Fred, was requested by the doctor. Dad said, “When Doctor Hatfield traveled six miles on horseback, through two feet of snow, I was already born. The doctor said, ‘For all of my difficulty getting here, I want you to give the boy the middle name of Fred, after a famous actor that I like.’” I once researched the name Perry and found the name in the Hebrew text of the Old Testament. It is spelled periy , and it means fruit (Prov. 11:30). Since our ministry is worldwide and we are seeing fruit for the kingdom of God, my name fits my destiny! This concept of receiving a new name is not isolated to biblical history. One of the future blessings of believers in heaven is that all believers will receive “ . . . some of the hidden manna . . . a white stone, and . . . a new name” (Rev. 2:17). When Christ returns as the King of kings to rule on Earth, He also will receive “a name written that no one knew except Himself” (Rev. 19:12). We will all enter the thousand-year reign of the Messiah with new names! Selecting the proper name should be seasoned with prayer and research and be agreed upon by the parents. The biblical evidence is clear that the Jewish people understood the meaning of names and were careful to select names that would apply to the child. In the lists below, I have listed biblical names and their meanings for both sons and daughters. Some are common among Christians, and others among the Jewish community. As you will see, these names all have a positive meaning. Biblical Names for Boys
