1. Uzziah (king of Judah) — Proper name meaning 'my strength is Yah,' referring primarily to Uzziah/Azariah king of Judah (c. 792-740 BCE), also known as Azariah (2 Kgs 14:21, 15:1-7). The dominant referent across the Hebrew Bible, appearing extensively in 2 Kings 15, 2 Chronicles 26, Isaiah 1:1, 6:1, 7:1, Hosea 1:1, Amos 1:1, and Zechariah 14:5. The name appears in two orthographic forms: the longer Uzziyyahu and the shorter Uzziyyah, but both refer to the same person. Transliterated consistently: Arabic Uzziyya, German Usija, French Ozias, Spanish Uzias, Korean Ussiya, Hindi Ujjiyyahu. All auto-clusters (Uzziyahu, Uzziah, of Uzziyah, and Uzziyah, Uzziyyahu) are mere spelling or syntactic variants of the same proper noun. 26×

2. Uzziah (Levite/other) — The name Uzziah borne by a different individual: a Levite or clan member listed in Nehemiah 11:4 (and Uzziyah) and 1 Chronicles 27:25 (Uzziyyahu). These references in genealogical and administrative lists refer to persons distinct from the king of Judah. The name is transliterated identically across languages (Arabic Uzziyya, Korean Ussiya, Hindi Ujjiyyah) since it is the same etymological name, but the referent is a different historical person appearing in post-exilic and Chronicler genealogies. 1×
