History & Origin

Izariah has no history of its own: it is a modern American respelling drawing on Azariah ('God has helped') and Isaiah ('God is salvation'), both long-established Hebrew names. Recast with a Z and used for a girl, it belongs to a wider trend of softening biblical boys' names into flowing four-beat girls' names. Routes uncertain, which we note (said 'iz-uh-RY-uh').

It appears only very rarely for girls in the U.S. and is newly emerging. Rare, biblical in echo, modern in build.

Did you know? Izariah stands between two biblical names — Azariah, 'God has helped', and Isaiah, 'God is salvation'. The Iz- spelling is modern and gives it a fresher, more feminine shape; its routes are uncertain, which we note.
