Elizabeth is the greek form of the Hebrew name Elisheva, and it means "God's promise." Chae is derived from Korean and means "light," "bright," or "shining." Put it together, and comes "Promising Light" or "God's promising light."
What's more, Elizabeth was the mother of John the Baptist. She was a Levite, the Jewish tribe set apart for priesthood. Now, check this out: Aaron's wife Elisheba's name means "mother of all priests." Elizabeth Chae, mother of all priests. May your children and children's children all come to know Christ's love and join the royal priesthood. What and who else is more fit to be called "God's promising light" than a mother of future royal priests, ministers of reconciliation! God blesses you abundantly, child!
Maybe... my mom is an 'Elizabeth Chae.' Huh. Hmmm. Maybe my mom was chosen to be set apart and to be a generation-changer, just as much as I was. I mean, there is no me, unless there is her, right?
Katherine means "pure." Stephanie means "crown." It also means "torture," which is fitting, as it is the female form of the name Stephen, the first Christian martyr. What a name of privilege and high calling. Pure royalty in the Kingdom. I love that the royalty, the worth is bestowed and not inherent in this name. She is a queen. She is so precious because the one to whom she belongs is infinitely worthy and royal.
