About Ezrah
Ezra is now in the Top 25 for boys, and is rising quickly for girls too. The Ezrah spelling feels just as useable for either.
Ezrah for boys#914 US
Ezra (and Ezrah) is potentially an abbreviation for the Hebrew phrase Azaryahu, meaning "Yah helps." In the Bible, Ezra led a group of fifteen hundred Israelites out of slavery in Babylon and back to Jerusalem. The Ezrah spelling is definitely less popular than the original Ezra, but is rising itself as well — Ezrah entered the US Top 1000 for the first time in 2022.
Pronounced EZ-rah.
As of October 2026, Ezrah ranked #4692 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #3458 in 2021.
