The baby name Ozi is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced OH-zee (IPA: /ˈoʊ.zi/).
Ozi is Hebrew in Origin.
With roots in Hebrew and West Africa, Ozi carries layered meanings. In Hebrew, from עז oz “strength,” Ozi means “my strength,” a declaration heard in the liturgical line “Adonai ozi ve‑zimrat.” As a given name, it functions as an independent modern choice and as a short form within Jewish communities, connected to biblical names built on the same root.
Variants include Uzi and Uzzi in Hebrew; related longer forms are Uzziah (Latin/Greek Ozias) and Uziel; English-friendly nicknames Oz, Ozzie/Ozzy also intersect. In Igbo (Nigeria), ozi denotes “message” or “news,” making Ozi a clipped form of names like Ozioma (“good news”) and Ozichukwu (“God’s message”), sometimes used on its own. Across traditions, the name evokes either steadfast strength or bearer of tidings, giving it a compact, cross‑cultural profile.
