Meaning of the Name Wyatt: Brave in War
The voice of Jesus from our film series.
Where the name comes from
Wyatt is from the Old English personal name Wigheard, joined from wig (war) and heard (brave, hardy). It reads roughly as "brave in war" or "bold in battle". A common given name in the American West and, in the 21st century, across the English-speaking world.
Wyatt in the Bible
No Wyatt in the Bible. The word behind the name - courage in a fight - is a biblical one, but the fight the Bible tells us to be brave in is often not the one the world notices: to speak the truth, to keep a promise, to sit with a friend in grief.
A blessing for Wyatt
Wyatt, may your bravery be spent on the right fights. Be strong and of a good courage in the ones that matter, and be gentle in every fight that does not.
