The Story of Ezael
Ezael appears to be a variant of the Hebrew name Ezekiel (Yehezkel), meaning God will strengthen or God is my strength. The root combines El (God) with the verb hazak (to be strong). Ezekiel was a major prophet in the Hebrew Bible who prophesied during the Babylonian exile and wrote one of the most visionary books of the Old Testament. Ezael offers a streamlined modern form while retaining the theological weight of the original.
Variants of Ezekiel have seen resurgence in the United States as parents rediscover biblical names with strong sounds. The shortened form Ezael appeals to parents who love the Ez- sound but want a less common alternative to Ezra or Ezekiel. It appears most frequently in Latin American and Hispanic American communities.
