Uriah Name Details

Uriah is a biblical name that originated in Hebrew. It is mentioned in the Old Testament as the name of several individuals. The most well-known figure is Uriah the Hittite, who was a loyal soldier in King David's army. Uriah's story is described in the Book of Samuel, where he is sent to the frontline of battle at David's command and ultimately killed in order to cover up David's adultery with Uriah's wife, Bathsheba. Despite this tragic story, the name Uriah still carries the meaning of devotion to God and remains a popular choice for parents looking for a strong and meaningful name for their sons.
