History & Origin

Oziah reworks the biblical Uzziah, a Hebrew name built on the idea that God is one's strength. The original belonged to a king of Judah, and the variant keeps the devotional meaning intact. It is an uncommon spelling rather than a separate name.

The respelling softens the look of Uzziah while preserving its three-syllable shape and its closing '-iah', a familiar ending in biblical boys' names.

Did you know? The meaning usually attached to Oziah is 'my strength is Yahweh', drawn from the Hebrew Uzziah, and that core idea is what gives the name most of its long-term appeal.
