* Some people of the Biblical period are not listed here, because their names are not in the canonical Bible. See list of names for the Biblical nameless.
* Sometimes the same name refers to several individuals in the Bible, for example there are three people named Joseph. Note: The actual name of the Hebrew God (Jehovah/Yahweh has been entered instead of "LORD". The name of the Hebrew God is usually found in Hebrew names as "iah" or "jah" in the anglicized form. The substitution of the word "lord" is inaccurate as the Hebrew word for lord is "adon", or "adonim" "adonai" and "god" is "el", "elim", or "elohim". See Tetragrammaton. And Hebrew had no "J" so all "J" names have been anglicized, so that "Y" has been changed to "J" for English speakers.
