ORIGIN & HISTORY

About the name

"My strength is Yah(weh)," from Hebrew עֻזִּיָּהוּ (ʿUzzīyyāhū), combining ʿoz ("strength") with a short form of the divine name Yahweh.

עֻזִּיָּהוּ (ʿUzzīyyāhū, Hebrew) via Ὀζίας (Ozias, Ancient Greek). Ozias/Uzziah was the tenth king of Judah, son of Amaziah, who took the throne at age 16 and reigned roughly 52 years. His early reign is described in the Bible as prosperous and militarily successful, but his later attempt to burn incense in the Temple — a priestly prerogative he was not authorized to perform — resulted in him being struck with leprosy (tzaraath) and living in isolation for the remainder of his reign, with his son Jotham assuming governmental duties. The Greek/Latin form 'Ozias' specifically appears in some English New Testament translations, in the genealogy of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew.
Mythological and religious contextOzias appears in some English New Testament translations, specifically in the genealogy of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew, as the Greek/Latin rendering of the Old Testament king Uzziah. Uzziah's biblical narrative (Old Testament, 2 Kings/2 Chronicles) recounts his prosperous early reign, military successes, and his downfall for improperly burning incense in the Temple, after which he was struck with leprosy.
