Uzziah ('my strength is Yah'), primarily the king of Judah (c. 792-740 BCE), also borne by several Levites and officials
A theophoric name meaning 'my strength is Yah,' borne most prominently by the king of Judah who reigned for over fifty years and is also called Azariah (2 Kgs 15:1-7). His prosperous reign ended in disgrace when he presumed to burn incense in the temple and was struck with leprosy (2 Chr 26:16-21). Isaiah's prophetic call is dated to 'the year that King Uzziah died' (Isa 6:1), making this name a chronological anchor for prophecy. The same name appears for a Levite ancestor (1 Chr 6:24), a priest who took a foreign wife (Ezra 10:21), and a clan head in Nehemiah's Jerusalem (Neh 11:4). Translations consistently transliterate the name: 'Uzias' (spa/fra), 'Usija' (deu).
