Origin: Hebrew

Meaning: Veil, hidden

Sometimes a one-syllable name is all it takes to describe a new bundle of joy in the world. The boy's name, Lot, meaning "veil" or "hidden," has roots in the Hebrew Bible and refers to a nephew of the patriarch Abraham. Lot embarked on a journey with his uncle to the land of promise but was later persuaded to move to Sodom, losing Abraham’s positive influence. Amidst great uncertainty and change, Lot’s faith acted as a compass, guiding him through the storm, and is what ultimately saves him and his children.
