  1. We chose the name Uriah meaning “God is my light.” We love the Biblical character of Uriah in the Old Testament as one of David’s mighty men – a man of valor, honor, and integrity.

  2. We chose the name because my husband had a friend as a child and always liked the name. I lived it because it was unique and from the Bible like mine name is. After we choose it, we found out that my 3 times Great grandfather was named Uriah. Then I knew it was definitely God’s plan. My son is 13 now and loves his name because it’s so unique.
