Ezequias

Meaning of Ezequias

Ezequias draws its warmth and strength from its ancient Hebrew root, Yehezqiyah, meaning “God strengthens,” yet it arrives wrapped in the mellifluous tones of Spanish—eh-seh-KEE-ahs—that roll off the tongue like a comforting refrain. Though it never dominates the top of the baby-name charts, Ezequias has quietly held its own in the United States, showing up each year with a dozen to two dozen little ones bearing the name and settling around the 900s in popularity (16 newborns in 2024, 21 in 2023, for example). It carries a timeless biblical resonance—recalling a wise king in Jerusalem—while remaining refreshingly uncommon today. In choosing Ezequias, parents offer their son a name that feels both rooted in rich tradition and charged with the promise of resilience and inner fortitude.
