I liked it at first, but then I realized it had "meth" in it.

So this is not accurate by this site. The Hebrew origin has 2 translated meanings: 1) When He Is Dead It Shall Be Sent, and 2) Man Of A Javelin.
The latter is similar to the first. BUT the first is what counts. It refers to the flood of Noah. If you look at the names in chapter 5 of Genesis they arguable message to Christ. I.e., using the first known interpretation above (and not offered on this site), it shall be sent on his death, and the fact that he was the longest living person shows God's grace before the flood (upon his death) and anyway the names seem to message: that man was condemned and God would send a messenger after the flood.

Meth is a horrible nickname to go by.

Ew, old man name. Can't see it on a baby.

So long Methuselah!

Sounds rather strange on the tongue, and should really be a female name. Then again, I don't really like names from old times.

I am so surprised with this name. No more information about this name Mathuselah, and little information about his father Enoch. It is so beneficial to me to know about the meaning of the name Mathuselah. Enoch had done one great work in his time - he walked with God, he talked with people about judgment, but no one believed him. Finally he named his son Mathuselah. Glory be to the Lord.

Don't like at all. Too bizarre and pretentious and the "Meth" part is way too blatant to me. It sounds like a name either an overly religious or fried-for-brains parent would give their child.

This name makes me think of a mythical sea creature, like a massive underwater dragon or Cthulu-like monster. It just sounds like something out of an old fantasy novel featuring mages and dragons. I can't really see it on a human being, but I do like it and would definitely use it in one of my short stories if I ever needed the name for a mysterious lake-dwelling many-tentacled monster that only the oldest man in the village has ever seen.

It does sound a bit "out there" nowadays, but I think it sounds cool. I probably wouldn't use it, but it's cool.

My ancestor was Methusalem, a variant of Methusaleh. It's a good name to give to a kid, being prophetic of long life. It was prophetic in my ancestor's case. He was Welsh, by the way.
I think it's interesting that people wonder why this name isn't used very much. It definitely doesn't sound as long as Bartholomew or even Christopher, but people use them (not that they're bad names). And you can actually use Matt as a nickname with Methusaleh, because of the French form Mathusalem.

All this name does for me is make me wanna sing "Razzle Dazzle" from the musical "Chicago" where is goes "Back since the days of old Methuselah, everyone loves the big BAMBUSELAH!"

The French form is Mathusalem. The Biblical character is well-known, but nobody is called Mathusalem!

Sounds very snobbish and rather obvious that the parents are fundamentalist Christians. I wouldn't even use this on a fictional character.

Well, I'LL be using this name for a fictional character. It reminds me of a wise, kind old man, which I guess was influenced by the character from the Redwall book series.

Not exactly your typical "famous bearer"; but the estimated oldest living organism alive is a tree named Methuselah, in connotation with the biblical figure of course. It is estimated to be 4,839 years old, and the location of the tree is undisclosed to prevent vandalism.

I wonder why no one names their children Methuselah. It does have a sort of strange sound to it, but if people actually used it, I don't think we would find it strange. Anyway, if you want a very unused name for your son, name him Methuselah.
