Are there any names in the Bible that was used for other people in the Bible more than once?
In other words was there anyone else named Sara, Bethsheba, Abraham, David, Noah, Moses, Job, or ANY other name? Or is each name in the Bible unique?
The majority of our names in past and present generations have been used a trillion times (Robert, Michelle, Sandra, Ray, etc. ) Thanks

Three Josephs. Two or three Marys, a bunch of them.

i don't know the names but yes some were used by more than one person. I think many times that is why people get confused or misunderstand the bible.

Names repeat on occasion in the Bible.
Not just names of people, but names of places.
Bethlehem is one example.
Some of the Apostles.

Yes. There are Josephs, Marys, James', Judas', Sauls(before Paul changed his name), and most likely others.

Two disciples were named James. To disambiguate this, one of the James' is referred to as "James, the son of Alpheus."

There are at least two Mary's. Both in the Gospels, too.

Lameck. One is a descendent of Seth, the other of Cain. I think there are others.
