Ezra Origin and Meaning

The name Ezra is a girl's name meaning "help".

Ezra is a biblical favorite for boys that's been making inroads into the girls' Top 1000 recently and continues to rise.

Though it was given to 450 baby girls in 2022, that's still below the 10% cutoff required to make a name truly unisex. Nearly 8000 baby boys were named Ezra last year and its star continues to rise for boys too.

Lovers of Ezra for a girl might like the pretty Turkish name Esra, which sounds pretty much identical.
