Azekiel

Azekiel is a modern masculine name that appears to be a creative variation of the biblical name Ezekiel, which means 'God strengthens' in Hebrew. The alteration of the initial letter from 'E' to 'A' gives this ancient name a contemporary twist while maintaining its biblical connections. Azekiel is quite rare, having emerged only in recent decades as parents increasingly seek unique variants of traditional names. The name has a strong, melodious quality with its four syllables and distinctive 'z' sound. Azekiel might appeal to parents who appreciate the rich heritage of biblical names but desire something more uncommon and distinctive for their child.

Pronounced ah-ZEE-keel.
