Today, I would like to list the most mentioned names in the Bible. In this article, I will focus on the top 10 names by number of appearances.

The number of occurrences may differ from version to version. The list below is based on the scores found in the New International Version (N.I.V).

The difference in occurrence may also vary due to how sentences are constructed. Some Bible versions may prefer to use the pronunciation “He,” “She,” or titles instead of the actual name. This isn’t an error in translation or the material used. There may be slight differences between versions due to the above reasons, but the results are approximate.

TOP 10 BIBLE NAMES BY NUMBER OF OCCURRENCES

1 Jesus’ name appeared 1,281 times.

2 David appeared 971 times.

3 Moses’s name appeared 803 times.

4 Jacob appeared 363 times.
