      With Azariah and Azriel in the Top 1000, and Ezra, Josiah, and Isaiah in the Top 100, it makes sense that this lesser known Hebrew choice is being revived in the US. Most likely deriving from Uzziah or Azaziah, Azaiah, it was a fast rising choice in 2024 when it rose more than 350 places, entering the Top 1000 for the first time.

    • Description:

      Tobiah is the original Hebrew form of the better-known Greek Tobias, to which it could make a distinctive alternative. With its ah ending, Tobiah fits in with other stylish Biblical names today, from Noah to Isaiah to Josiah and Zachariah. And of course, Toby is an adorable nickname.
  4. Azaryah

    • Description:

      Azaryah is a masculine name with Hebrew origins, serving as a variant of Azariah, which appears in the Bible. The name means 'helped by God' or 'whom God has helped,' reflecting spiritual significance. In the Old Testament, Azariah was the birth name of Abednego, one of the three men thrown into a fiery furnace by King Nebuchadnezzar. The name has gained modest popularity in recent years as parents seek names with biblical roots but contemporary sounds. With its melodic quality and meaningful etymology, Azaryah appeals to families looking for a name that's distinctive yet anchored in religious tradition.

      Hebrew

    • Meaning:

      "the Lord is just"

  19. Ah

    • Description:

The brevity of this two-letter name gives it a minimalist quality that contrasts with longer naming traditions. In some East Asian cultures, particularly Chinese, Ah might be used as an informal or nickname rather than a formal given name. The simplicity of Ah presents both challenges (potential confusion with an exclamation) and advantages (universally easy to pronounce and remember) as a given name.
