Amoziah is Hebrew in Origin.

Amoziah is a rare, modern Hebraic given name likely formed by analogical blending of Amos/Amoz with the biblical Amaziah. Etymologically it points back to Hebrew Amatsyahu (Amatziah), from the verb amats "to be strong, courageous" plus the theophoric -yahu/-yah ("Yahweh"). The meaning is often rendered "Yahweh has strengthened," "strength of God," or "God is mighty." Related roots also underlie the separate biblical name Amoz, father of the prophet Isaiah.

In historical usage the core form Amaziah appears in the Hebrew Bible as a king of Judah (2 Kings 14; 2 Chronicles 25) and as a priest opposed to the prophet Amos (Amos 7). English Bibles transmitted Amaziah, and it surfaced among Puritan and early American namers. Amoziah itself appears only sporadically in modern records and remains extremely uncommon. Variants and relatives include Amaziah, Amatziah, Amatsyahu, Amasiah, Amoz, and Amos; nicknames Ziah, Moz, or Oz.
