We often think of judgment as a negative action. We worry about others passing judgment on our choices and finding what we are doing wrong or socially unacceptable. What we forget, though, is that judgment is simply the ability to make a decision based on evidence. We use our judgment every day to help us make various choices.
This is an important trait to teach our children: the ability to make good decisions. An easy way to share our desires for our children and remind them of qualities we see as important is to choose a name that reflects these characteristics. Reinhard, a German boy’s name meaning “strong judgment” or Basiana, a Spanish girl’s name meaning ‘acute judgment’ are both examples of this.
The ultimate judge in many cultures is God of the Bible, and this is also reflected in the naming practices of those cultures. Dinah and Jadon, Hebrew names meaning “judgment” and “He will judge” respectively refer more to God’s judgment as deciding the outcome of our lives. In this case, God makes a decision about one’s sinfulness based on the evidence of how they lived. For many Christians, this is a reminder that the opinions or judgments of others don’t matter, as God has the last word.
