Uzi is Hebrew in Origin.
Uzi is a Hebrew given name (עוזי) rooted in the Semitic stem ‘oz, meaning “strength, might.” With the first‑person suffix -i, it conveys “my strength,” and it also functions as a familiar short form of Uziel (“God is my strength”). Closely related are Uzziel and Uzziah/Uzziyahu (“Yahweh is my strength”). Variant spellings include Uzi and Uzzi; related short form Oz shares the same core meaning.
The name appears in the Hebrew Bible borne by several figures - often rendered Uzzi in English translations - among Levitical and priestly lineages in Chronicles and Ezra–Nehemiah, giving it a long-standing religious pedigree. In modern Hebrew use, Uzi is an independent, brisk two-syllable name, popular in Israel and recognizable abroad through notable bearers. It conveys a compact, confident tone anchored in the traditional idea of steadfast strength.
