Still, the name Saul has never achieved higher than #270 on the American popularity charts, which means this name (although familiar) is relatively lightly used. Furthermore, considering today’s modern naming styles, Saul may be just a little too “old-man” of a name, even to the Jewish people.

Biblical account of his life. The account of Saul’s life comes from the Old Testament book of I Samuel. The son of Kish, a well-to-do member of the tribe of Benjamin, he was made king by the league of 12 Israelite tribes in a desperate effort to strengthen Hebrew resistance to the growing Philistine threat.

Later, in a vision to Ananias of Damascus, “the Lord” referred to him as “Saul, of Tarsus”. When Ananias came to restore his sight, he called him “Brother Saul”. In Acts 13:9, Saul is called “Paul” for the first time on the island of Cyprus – much later than the time of his conversion.
