Mesiah is a unique and distinctive given name of Hebrew origin, meaning 'anointed one' or 'Christ'. It is derived from the Greek word 'Messias', which was used in reference to the anticipated Jewish Messiah. The name gained prominence during the Middle Ages but has seen renewed popularity in recent years, particularly among parents seeking uncommon yet meaningful names for their children.
"Over five years, from 2007 to present, there have been only five instances of the name Mesiah being given at birth."
