Baptist Meaning

German form of Baptiste. It is often paired with the name Johann, in honour of Saint John the Baptist. The name Baptist has Greek or Roman roots because it comes from the Greek words “baptistes” or the Latin “baptista” which means “to dip in water”. In fact St John the Baptist probably was called this because of his habit of immersing people in water as a symbol of purification.
