Jeziah
Meaning of Jeziah
Jeziah is a masculine name of Hebrew origin meaning “Yahweh strengthens” or “God appoints,” and it appears in the Old Testament as a minor figure. Less common than its near-relative Isaiah, Jeziah offers a subtle nod to biblical heritage while retaining a distinctive sound. Pronounced juh-ZY-uh (/dʒuˈzaɪə/), it has held a steady place in U.S. naming charts—hovering around the mid-800s in rank with roughly 30–50 newborns each year. This modest popularity ensures that a child named Jeziah is unlikely to encounter a namesake on the playground, making it an appealing choice for parents who value quiet individuality grounded in tradition. Its continual, low-profile use speaks to a balanced blend of historical depth and contemporary subtlety.
