A biblical name meaning 'help' or 'God helps,' commonly used as a given name for boys.
From Hebrew 'Ezra' (עזרא), composed of 'ez' (help) and 'ra' (God). Ezra was a Jewish priest and scribe in the Bible who led the return from Babylonian exile. The name has been popular in Jewish and Christian traditions for over 2,500 years.
Ezra the biblical figure literally wrote down sacred texts from memory after Babylonian captors destroyed them—he's basically history's most important record-keeper, which is why the Book of Ezra focuses on restoration and rebuilding. Modern Ezras are named after someone who refused to let knowledge disappear!
