Goliath
Hebrew
"exile"Goliath Origin and Meaning
The name Goliath is boy's name of Hebrew origin meaning "exile".
Not a traditional biblical choice, but the Philistine giant isn't a bad character as such, just a champion fighter who lost to the underdog. He has given his name to everything from insect species to roller coasters. In a time when we're seeing more biblical names with chequered associations - Leviathan and Cain spring to mind - Goliath may appeal to some.
