Meshach

Meaning of Meshach

Meshach is a distinctive and historically rich name for boys, pronounced as MEE-shak (/ˈmiʃæk/). Its origin traces back to the Hebrew Bible, where Meshach is one of three Hebrew men thrown into a fiery furnace by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon but saved by divine intervention. This biblical association lends the name a sense of resilience and faith. A variation of the name is Mishael. In recent years, Meshach has been relatively rare in the United States, with its highest occurrence in 1994 when it ranked 2392nd. Despite its rarity, the name's deep historical roots and unique sound make it an appealing choice for parents seeking something unconventional yet meaningful.
