About Goliath
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.
Pronounced goh-LY-uth.
As of October 2026, Goliath ranked #11356 in US births in 2024 SSA, peaked at #8421 in 2019.
