Amziah is Hebrew in Origin.

Amziah is a rare English rendering of the Hebrew name Amaziah, from Amatzyahu/Amatsyah (עֲמַצְיָהוּ), built on the root ‘amatz “to be strong, courageous” plus the theophoric -yahu “Yahweh.” It conveys the meaning “Yahweh has strengthened,” often paraphrased as “the strength of the Lord.” In the Hebrew Bible, Amaziah names a king of Judah and a priest at Bethel, anchoring the name in ancient Israelite history and scripture.

While Amaziah is the conventional English form found in the King James Bible, Amziah appears as a streamlined variant, alongside modern Hebrew Amatzia/Amatzya and the Greek/Latin Amasias/Amazias; related short forms include Amzi (“strong”). Usage in the English-speaking world has remained uncommon, surfacing in occasional religious or revivalist contexts and in modern creative naming. With its crisp Z and venerable roots, Amziah offers a distinctive, meaning-rich alternative to more familiar Old Testament names.
