  1. I never knew what Zoe meant--but it fits MY Zoe very well.

    Isaac means "He Laugheth" because in the Bible, when Abraham and Sarah were finally given a son, they laughed. I love it. We sort of felt that way when I found out I was having him.

    Noah...I don't know! I used to know, but I can't remember. I love name meanings.
