Are there evil names?

Posted on August 10, 2012 Updated on August 9, 2012

I came across a little discovery recently that may explain why, despite being spirit filled, you still behave the way you do.

John whose surname was Mark Acts 12:12, 12:25,15:37 was the young cousin of Barnabas that caused much contention between Barnabas and Paul because John Mark had departed from them in Pamphylia (land of many people/races), and had not gone with them to the work (Acts 15:36-40).

According to Cruden’s Complete Concordance of the bible, the name Mark means indolent, the same as Marcus (Latin) from Marceo, to be languid, to be lazy. Little wonder, John Mark lazily departed and did not go with them to the work.

What is your surname? Is there any relationship between your erratic behavior and your surname.
