Ezera is a rare, modern variant of the Hebrew name Ezra, derived from ‘ezer, meaning “help” or “support.” It inherits the association with the biblical scribe and priest Ezra, a restorer of Jewish law after the Babylonian exile, so the name often carries connotations of wisdom, steadiness, and guidance.
