Yehezkel is an ancient Hebrew masculine given name that has been used for centuries, particularly among Jewish communities around the world. Transliterated into English as Ezekiel, the name translates to "God will strengthen" or "May God strengthen." This name holds significant biblical importance, as it is shared by one of the major prophets in the Old Testament. Ezekiel served as a priest and prophet during the Babylonian exile, around the 6th century BCE, and his prophecies are recorded in the Book of Ezekiel. The name has been popular among Jewish families for generations, but it has also gained traction among other communities due to its biblical connection and strong, timeless quality.
"Yehezkel had five newborns across one year."
