Christian name - Definition and Overview

Related Words: Nazarene, Nazarite, Authentic, Benign, Brotherly, Burgher, Canonical, Catechumen, Churchman

"Christian name" is a term more or less synonymous with "forename" or "given name", but one that is becoming an archaism due to the increasing secularisation of what were once compulsory Christian societies.

Converts to Christianity may adopt a new Christian name upon baptism.
