Amaziah is a name of Hebrew origin, derived from two elements: 'am,' meaning 'people' or 'nation,' and 'Yah,' a shortened form of the divine name Yahweh. Thus, Amaziah translates to 'Yahweh is my strength.' This name appears in the Old Testament of the Bible, where King Amaziah ruled over Judah from 798-769 BCE.
The name Amaziah experienced a significant increase in popularity over time, with a notable spike from 2012 onwards.
