This paper analyzes proper nouns collected from the English Bible, focusing on the relationship between syllabic patterns and stress positions of trisyllabic personal or geographical names. This analysis revealed some new characteristics of Biblical proper nouns in relation to syllable weight and stress positions. The overall stress positions of Biblical proper nouns seem to be slightly different from those of common nouns collected from WebCelex, but Biblical proper nouns have only a few words with final stress, far fewer than common nouns from WebCelex. The most interesting finding is that there are many words with a hiatus between the second and third syllables in Biblical proper nouns, and that the stress positions of many of these nouns can be predicted neither from the effect of prevocalic lengthening nor from vowel changes which are considered to be caused by the Great Vowel Shift.
