Ezekiel

יְחֶזְקֵאל

• Gender: Male
• Origin: Biblical English
• Meaning: God strengthens

• Ezekiel was one of the great prophets of the Hebrew Bible, a visionary who saw heavenly chariots and spoke of valleys of dry bones coming back to life. His name means "God strengthens," and his story is one of faith sustained through exile and devastation. It is a name that carries immense biblical grandeur, yet in recent years it has surged in popularity thanks to its rugged, substantial sound.

  Once considered old-fashioned, this name has gone white-hot, climbing the charts thanks to parents who want substance and swagger. The nickname Zeke gives it an irresistible cool factor that balances the prophetic seriousness. Few biblical names manage to sound both ancient and edgy at the same time — Ezekiel pulls it off.
