| Vaheb | ASV, JPS, in the KJV this Hebrew noun is translated by the words "what he did", name of a place in Moab | Numbers 21:14 |
| Vajezatha | white, perhaps better born | Esther 9:9 |
| Vaniah | praise be to God | Ezra 10:36 |
| Vashni | This name is a corruption. It is given as the name of Samuel's firstborn son, but in 1 Samuel 8:2 the name given for this son is "Joel". Most likely in 1 Chronicles 6:28 the name "Joel" was dropped out and the name "Vashni" is nothing more than a corruption of the next Hebrew word in the text, which means "and (the) second". Thus speculations as to what "Vashni" might mean vary greatly, and they are probably without merit. | 1 Chronicles 6:28 |
| Vashti | beautiful woman | Esther 1:9 |
| Vedan | ASV, JPS, rendered "Dan" in the KJV, it literally means "and Dan" | Ezekiel 29:17 |
| Vophsi | my addition | Numbers 13:14 |
