The baby name Messiah is a unisex name, 3 syllables long and is pronounced "muh-SIGH-uh".
Messiah is a name that has gained popularity in recent years, particularly in the United States. The name is derived from the Hebrew word "mashiach," which means "anointed one" or "savior." In Jewish tradition, the Messiah is a figure who will bring about the redemption of the Jewish people and the world. In Christianity, the Messiah is Jesus Christ, who is believed to have fulfilled the prophecies of the Jewish Messiah.
The name Messiah has been used as a given name for both boys and girls, although it is more commonly given to boys. In 2019, it was the 387th most popular name for boys in the United States. The pronunciation of Messiah is muh-SIGH-uh, with the emphasis on the second syllable. The name has a strong and powerful sound, which may be part of its appeal.
The use of the name Messiah as a given name is relatively new, and it has been met with controversy in some circles. In 2013, a judge in Tennessee ordered that a baby named Messiah be renamed, stating that "Messiah" was a title reserved for Jesus Christ. However, the decision was later overturned on appeal. Despite the controversy, the name Messiah continues to be used by parents who are drawn to its religious and spiritual connotations.
