Izekiel

Izekiel Origin and Meaning

The name Izekiel is a boy's name.

Izekiel is a modern variation of the biblical name Ezekiel, which comes from Hebrew origins meaning 'God strengthens' or 'God will strengthen.' The original Ezekiel was a major prophet in the Old Testament who had visions of God and the restoration of Israel. This altered spelling with an 'I' instead of 'E' gives the traditional name a contemporary twist while maintaining its powerful biblical associations. Izekiel remains relatively uncommon, making it attractive to parents seeking a name with spiritual significance but a distinctive edge. The name offers the friendly nickname options 'Ike' or 'Zeke,' balancing its formal gravitas with approachable familiarity.
