Meaning of the Name Hunter: One Who Hunts
The voice of Jesus from our film series.
Where the name comes from
Hunter is an English surname (later given name) from the Old English hunta, "one who hunts". Common as a personal name in the American English of the 20th and 21st centuries.
Hunter in the Bible
Nimrod in Genesis 10 is called "a mighty hunter before the Lord" - the Bible's most direct match for what the name describes. The image of hunting is used elsewhere in Scripture, sometimes admiringly, sometimes as a warning.
A blessing for Hunter
Hunter, may what you seek be worth the finding. May the Lord give you sight for the small things a hurried person misses, and the patience of a good tracker.
