Question

why is the kjv called kjv

Answer 1

The KJV is called the "King James Version" because it was commissioned by King James I of England. The translation was initiated in 1604 and first published in 1611. King James I sought to create a new translation of the Bible that would be acceptable to various factions within the Church of England and could serve as an authoritative text. The KJV aimed to be both accurate and literary, and it has since become one of the most influential and widely read versions of the Bible in the English-speaking world.
