The Story of Uzziel
Uzziel (עֻזִּיאֵל) is a Hebrew name meaning 'God is my strength' or 'my power is God,' combining 'oz' (עֹז — strength, power, might) with 'El' (אֵל — God). It appears multiple times in the Hebrew Bible: in Exodus 6:18 as a grandson of Levi and ancestor of the priestly lineage that would include Moses and Aaron; in Numbers 3:19; and in Nehemiah 3:8 as a goldsmith who helped rebuild Jerusalem's walls. Jewish mystics also adopted the name for an angelic figure in Kabbalistic tradition.
Uzziel remains primarily used in Sephardic Jewish, Latin American Jewish, and Spanish-speaking Christian communities — particularly in Venezuela, Colombia, and Puerto Rico, where rare biblical names are embraced. It's seeing gradual growth in the US as parents seek distinctive, spiritually meaningful alternatives to Gabriel and Daniel.
The name appears in Exodus (6:18) as a son of Kohath, making Uzziel a great-uncle of Moses and Aaron — a figure central to the priestly lineage that would shape Israelite worship. In Jewish mysticism (Kabbalah), Uzziel is also the name of an angel of mercy.
