Owen
This Welsh name meaning lamb is full of rich symbolism: the sacrificial lamb in the Old Testament,  and the Lamb of God, as Jesus is referred to since He sacrificed Himself for us. Born in spring, lambs are also associated with new life. The name also belonged to a courageous 16th century carpenter, St. Nicholas Owen, who hid many priests during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I.
