Seraph

The name Seraph comes directly from the Hebrew word 'seraphim' (שְׂרָפִים), which is plural. In the Bible, particularly in the book of Isaiah (Isaiah 6:2-7), seraphim are described as a class of celestial beings or angels who attend God's throne. They are depicted with six wings and are associated with fire, purity, and light, hence the meaning 'burning ones' or 'fiery ones'.

While 'Seraphim' is plural, 'Seraph' is the singular form and has been adopted as a given name, though it remains relatively rare. Its usage as a personal name often carries connotations of divinity, purity, and a connection to the celestial realm. It is more commonly found as a surname or in literary contexts than as a first name.
