Uzzah is a personal name meaning 'strength,' appearing in the Levitical genealogies of 1 Chronicles. The name derives from the root for strength or might, the same root that gives us names like Uzziel ('God is my strength') and Azariah ('YHWH has helped'). This Uzzah is distinct from the more famous Uzzah who touched the ark and died (2 Samuel 6), though both bear the same name. Hebrew names often reflected theological convictions or hopes—parents naming a child Uzzah expressed confidence in strength, whether physical might or the strength that comes from God. The Septuagint variations reflect different Greek attempts to render the Hebrew name.
