Biblical Name Changes
Floridians seeking to change their legal name can take comfort in the fact that changing one’s name has a long history rooted in the Hebrew Bible. A great article in the Jewish Encyclopedia titled “Shinnuy Ha-Shem” (which translates roughly as “Changing the Name”) discusses biblical name changes.
In the book of Genesis we learn that forefather Abram changed his name to Abraham, and foremother Sarai changed her name to Sarah.
