Uzzi — 'my strength,' a personal name borne by several priestly and tribal figures in Chronicles-Ezra-Nehemiah
The name עֻזִּי (Uzzi), meaning 'my strength' (from the root עזז, 'to be strong'), belongs to at least six different individuals in the Old Testament, all appearing in genealogical and administrative lists. The most prominent is a descendant of Aaron through Eleazar and Phinehas in the high-priestly line (1 Chr 6:5-6, 51; Ezra 7:4). Others include an Issacharite clan leader (1 Chr 7:2-3), a Benjaminite (1 Chr 7:7; 9:8), a Levitical overseer in post-exilic Jerusalem (Neh 11:22), and priestly figures in Nehemiah's lists (Neh 12:19, 42). The name reflects the common Israelite practice of embedding theophoric strength-language in personal names.
