From Hebrew origin, Ezra is a boy’s name. Ezra is a short variant of the name Azaryahu, which means “Yah helps.” Ezra is a name that simply means “help” and is beautiful in its simplicity. Yet, Ezra has a very high profile. The religious leader E-z-r-a the Scribe, who is venerated for rebuilding the Jewish society on the foundation of the Torah, is where the name gets its origin. Ezra, the leader of the second group of exiled Jews to return from Babylonia, is venerated as a symbol of incalculable help and support because of his role in the revival of Judaism. Today, this name still has a lot of weight, and it serves as a reminder to many people that a true hero is someone who helps others to grow.
