Hizki is Basque in Origin.

Hizki is a modern Hebrew given name, commonly used as a short form of Hizkiyahu (Hezekiah). It derives from biblical Hebrew Ḥizqî/Ḥizqîyāhû, built on the root ḥ-z-q “to be strong” plus the theophoric divine name Yah(u). The sense is “Yahweh strengthens,” often rendered “strength of God.” In Israel today, Hizki can stand on its own or function as a friendly diminutive.

Its pedigree reaches back to King Hezekiah of Judah, renowned for reforms in the late eighth century BCE, which helped entrench the name in Jewish tradition. English Hezekiah flourished among Puritans, while the Greek and Latin forms circulated as Ezekias/Ezechias. Variants and related forms include Hizkiyahu, Hizkiya, Chizki, Hezki, and the Anglicized Hezekiah; cognates appear as Ézéchias (French), Ezequías (Spanish), and Ezequias (Portuguese). Though rarer outside Hebrew-speaking communities, Hizki offers a concise, contemporary take on a venerable biblical name.
