Goliath First Name Meaning

Goliath is a male name of Hebrew origin, meaning "Giant." In the Old Testament, Goliath was a Philistine champion known for his immense stature, challenging the Israelites to single combat. The biblical account depicts his defeat by the young shepherd David, who used a sling and stone as a weapon. This victory symbolized David's triumph over a much larger adversary, signifying the power of faith and divine intervention. The phrase "David and Goliath" has since become synonymous with underdog situations, where a smaller, weaker opponent faces a stronger adversary. The name Goliath carries historical and biblical significance, representing strength, courage, and the potential for unexpected triumph.
