Each row has two links because it answers two different questions. The name reference explains the linguistic history; the passage confirms that the named person appears in Scripture. A verse does not prove a modern baby-name meaning, and a name dictionary does not prove biblical use.
Several familiar glosses do not survive that separation. Miriam and Damaris have uncertain etymologies, Boaz does not have one settled literal translation, and Gideon is called a mighty warrior in the story rather than by the literal meaning of his name. Those distinctions are kept in the list instead of being rounded into a cleaner claim.
For another source-led naming tradition, see the saint names guide. The Quranic girl names guide applies the same rule: presence in a religious text and etymology are documented separately.
