Ezequiel is Hebrew in Origin.
Ezequiel is the Spanish and Portuguese form of Ezekiel, from Hebrew Yehezqel (Yeḥezqēl), combining ḥzq “to strengthen” and ’El “God”: “God strengthens” or “may God make strong.” The name is borne by the exilic prophet of the Hebrew Bible, which secured its use among Jews and early Christians. From Iberia it spread widely through the Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking world, taking firm root in Latin America and, via Spain, the Philippines.
Variants include Ezekiel (English), Ézéchiel/Ezechiel (French/German, older), and Ezechiele (Italian); feminine forms are rare. Regional nicknames are Eze, Zequi, and Equi in Spanish, Quiel in the Philippines, and Zeke via the English form. Today Ezequiel remains popular in Mexico, Argentina, Spain, Brazil, and among US Latinos, appreciated for its strong biblical heritage and uplifting meaning.
