Habacuc Origin and Meaning

The name Habacuc is a boy's name.

Habacuc is a masculine name derived from the Hebrew name Habakkuk (חֲבַקּוּק), belonging to one of the twelve minor prophets in the Hebrew Bible. The name is thought to mean 'embrace' or 'ardent embrace' in Hebrew. Primarily used in Spanish-speaking countries and communities with strong biblical traditions, Habacuc carries significant religious importance. Despite its biblical origins, it remains relatively uncommon as a first name globally. Those named Habacuc often feel a connection to the prophetic tradition and the spiritual legacy it represents. The name maintains its original form in Spanish translations of the Bible, which contributes to its continued, albeit limited, usage in contemporary Hispanic Christian communities.
