Ezekeial is Hebrew in Origin.
Ezekeial is a contemporary Anglicized respelling of Ezekiel, derived from the Hebrew Yehezqel/Yechezkel, from chazaq “to strengthen” + 'el “God,” yielding the meaning “God strengthens” or “May God strengthen.” The name is borne by the 6th-century BCE biblical prophet of the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament, whose visions influenced Jewish and Christian tradition. Transmitted through Greek Iezekiel and Latin Ezechiel, it entered English steadily, gained favor in the Protestant Reformation, and has seen renewed popularity in recent decades.
Standard variants include Ezekiel (English), Ezequiel (Spanish/Portuguese), Ezechiel (French/German), Ezechiël (Dutch), and Yehezkel/Yechezkel (Modern Hebrew). Diminutives and short forms include Zeke/Zeek and Ez; less commonly, Kiel is used. The spelling Ezekeial reflects the common four-syllable English pronunciation (i-zee-kee-uhl) but remains rare and nontraditional, so many sources will normalize it to Ezekiel.
