Ezaiah is a contemporary variant of the Hebrew name Isaiah, derived from the elements yasha (“to save”) and Yah (“God”), and thus meaning “God is salvation.” Rooted in the legacy of the biblical prophet Isaiah, this spelling offers a familiar resonance paired with a distinctive twist that appeals to parents seeking both tradition and individuality. In the United States, its usage has been modest but consistent—entering the top 1,000 names in the mid-2000s and most recently appearing 17 times in 2024 at rank 907. With a pronunciation (eh-ZY-uh) that leaves little room for misinterpretation, Ezaiah delivers its heritage with quiet confidence—and spares its bearer the perennial chore of correcting baristas.
