Meaning of first name
« on: Monday 10 July 06 00:00 BST (UK) »
I would be grateful if someone can help me with the meaning of the christian name Lot, I presume it to be male as it came from Slater's Directory.

Many thanks,
Pam.......Sydney :)

The boy's name Lot is of Hebrew origin, and its meaning is "veil."  From the bible, Lot was a nephew of Abraham. He fled God's destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, but his wife disobeyed God's command, looked back upon the city, and was turned into a pillar of salt.
