Ezekias

Meaning of Ezekias

Ezekias is the Latin-Greek rendering of the Hebrew royal name Ḥizqiyyāh, meaning “God strengthens,” known in the Vulgate as Ezechias and still echoed in the Spanish Ezequías. Associated with the reform-minded King Hezekiah of Judah—who purified the Temple and famously recovered from grave illness—the name carries connotations of resilience and faith. In English it sounds as eh-ZEE-kyas, a crisp sequence that feels both ancient and fresh, offering an alternative to the more common Ezekiel. U.S. records show it surfacing only a handful of times each year, typically placing around the 900th mark, which keeps its biblical gravitas free from overuse. Bridging Hebrew piety, Hellenistic scripture, and Latin liturgy, Ezekias stands as a quietly distinguished choice for parents drawn to enduring heritage over fleeting trends.
