→ English Ezekiel
1
English / Hebrew / Aramaic roots
Ezekiel comes from the Hebrew Yehezqel, meaning God strengthens. The prophet Ezekiel had the most extraordinary visions in scripture: the chariot of God with four-faced creatures (Ezekiel 1), the valley of dry bones coming to life (Ezekiel 37), and visions that have influenced Jewish Merkabah mysticism. Pulp Fiction famously misquotes Ezekiel 25:17. Zeke Elliott was one of the NFL's biggest stars. The name has been climbing rapidly.
