Origin

Hebrew

Ezra is a biblical Hebrew name meaning 'help'. In the Old Testament, Ezra was a priest and scribe who led a group of Judean exiles back to Jerusalem. It has long been a traditional male name but has seen a massive surge for both genders in the 2010s and 20s, fitting the 'E-name' trend and the move toward soft-sounding biblical names.
