History & Origin

Ezekial is a long-attested variant of Ezekiel — Hebrew Yechezkel, 'God strengthens', the exile-prophet of the valley of dry bones and the chariot vision. The -al spelling tracks pronunciation and appears in records back through the nineteenth century, gaining ground as Ezekiel boomed.

With Zeke as universal nickname, the spelling difference vanishes by lunchtime. Ezekial remains the uncommon sibling of a current favorite.

Did you know? Ezekiel's wildest vision — wheels within wheels, full of eyes — has fueled everything from gospel songs to UFO theories; few prophets have a fandom this eclectic.
