Hizkiah

If the once rare and weighty Hezekiah is now too popular for your tastes, you could consider this alternative form of Biblical name. Appearing in the Old Testament as a powerful king of Judah, the name is ultimately derived from the Hebrew Hizqyahu meaning "Yahweh strengthens" or "God gives me strength". Pronounced as kheetz-kee-yah or hi-zkee-ya, it is notably, though quietly, used in Israel.

Pronounced hiz-KY-ah.
