Sapphira

+ Add to List

In the Bible, Sapphira and husband Ananias lied about the amount of a donation they gave to the early Church community -- and were struck down for it. This negative association is likely the reason this striking, jewel-of-a-name hasn't been widely used -- but it deserves a close look.
