Girls names that mean redemption. Help me think laterally

[Evelynevening]

I was wondering if anyone could help. I have been searching for a girl name that means redemption (or something similar) and everything I have found online sounds too different/foreign.

Can anyone help me think something else? I think I will need to think outside the box for this and am not too sure where to start.

But I don't want something that sounds too unusual.

Loveday?

[SparklyFucker]

What about Christina? Isabelle + variants means consecrated to God - could be taken as accepted by God/redeemed by accepting God? Simone/Simona mean God is heard - I am redeemed?

[LauraChant]

Natasha/ Natalya/ Natalie has associations with Christmas/ birth of Jesus and so could be said to have associations with redemption?

Redemption......'Red' for short?

Ruth's MIL was Naomi, I think.

How about Esther? She also risked her life to redeem her people. The name means 'myrtle' which is a plant associated with rebirth, it springs back to life when cut down, and with love/marriage. Alternative meaning is 'star'

[MrsWildermac]

Though actually, because of her, her mother-in-law was also redeemed?

[MrsWildermac]

How about Ruth? In the OT she was redeemed by Boaz and it's a beautiful story, though I suppose she was on the receiving end of said redemption rather than acting as redeemer.

Love Redemption as a middle name.

Sorry - mistakenly deleted part of my earlier message then didn't have time to write afresh...

In short, 2 biblical suggestions from me, one from each testament. Bathsheba and Mary, the latter as in Magdalene.

Bathsheba has literary association with redemption too (Hardy's Far from the Madding Crowd).

I did once hear of Phoenix as a girl's name, but it's not a patch on these two, in my opinion.

Please keep us posted if you don't mind. Such an interesting brief.

Thank you for all your help, it has been very useful and I've been busy following up all these suggestions.

I really like the idea of Redemption as a middle name, dh not so keen but maybe if we go with his choice of first name he'll agree.

The Bathsheba suggestion was interesting and I found the French version Bethsabee more gentle (less emphasis in bat), although I can't get away from Beth's a bee.

Could be nn Annie... :)

I think Anastasia means ressurection?

[Clargo55]

Could you use Redemption as a middle name? I think it could work really well.
Any of the other names jumping out at you?

[steppemum]

Evangeline?
Galya
Priam

(got the last two from google)

[KatieScarlett2833]

Liberty?

[KatieScarlett2833]

Arabella, that's what I thought too. I love that song

[KatieScarlett2833]

I really like Redemption as a name.

[Bakingtins]

How about
Elizabeth/Eliza/Beth/Ailsa/Isabel - all 'God's promise'
Josephine 'God has added'
Anna / Hannah / Joanna 'God has favoured me'
Eliana 'God has answered'

Or on a different tack, thinking of rebirth, rising from the ashes etc Vanessa / Nessa 'butterfly'

[ArabellaBeaumaris]

Just go for Redemption (as a middle name). Lovely sound to it actually, & makes me think of this song

[Evelynevening]

Thank you so much for those. They are more what I'm looking for.

bakingtins there is no real back story I can describe, I just have very strong feeling for the baby to have this 'action' in the name (middle or first I haven't decided yet).

[Oriunda]

Salvatora is an Italian girl's name (saviour). DH's grandmother was called this but used 'Dora' as nn.

[Bakingtins]

Anastasia / Stacey "resurrection"
Hope
Thea/Mattea "gift of God"
Carissa/Carys/Charis "grace"
Jenna "god's grace"
Mary/Miriam "wished for child"
Shona/Siobhan "god is gracious"

OP, are you willing to share any of the back-story to how you came to want a redemption name? It might help posters to think of similar themes.

Adina means she has saved.

Salvia is Spanish and means saved.
