The baby name Ezekiel is a Male name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced /ˌɛzɪˈkiːəl/ (ez-ih-KEE-əl).
Ezekiel is Hebrew in Origin.
Ezekiel derives from the Hebrew Yeḥezqel (יְחֶזְקֵאל), built from ḥazaq “to strengthen” and ’El “God,” yielding the sense “God strengthens” or “may God strengthen.” It belongs to the 6th‑century BCE priest‑prophet of the Hebrew Bible, whose visions and oracles form the Book of Ezekiel and shaped Jewish and Christian theology.
Carried into Greek and Latin as Iezekiēl/Ezechiel, the name entered English via the Vulgate and was favored by Puritans in 17th‑century Britain and colonial America. It has remained familiar in Jewish communities and, in the wider Anglophone world, has risen sharply since the early 2000s. International variants include Yehezkel (Hebrew), Ezéchiel (French), Ezechiel (German), Ezequiel (Spanish/Portuguese), Ezechiele (Italian), Ezechiël (Dutch), Ezechiel (Polish), and Ezechielis (Lithuanian). Common nicknames are Zeke and Ez; less common are Zek and Kiel. The name blends ancient gravitas with a brisk, modern sound.
