Personal experiences with the name Zain: | Edit

My middle child is named Zain. I wanted to give him a strong biblical name and the 119th Psalm really spoke to me while I was pregnant. I also really liked the verse Ephesians 6:10-18 and I felt that Zain's "sword" meaning was a reference back to taking up the "sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.".
