Meaning & origin
Hazaiah is a rare biblical revival name that entered U.S. records in 2010, reflecting a broader trend of rediscovering Old Testament names beyond the common ones. Its peak popularity came in 2021, though its trajectory has been steadily falling since that year. With a rank of 8910 in 2025 and an incidence of about 1 in 213,510 male births, it remains uncommon even among unusual names. The name's modern appeal likely stems from its distinctive sound and the familiar '-iah' ending shared with more popular choices like Jeremiah and Zachariah. Despite its rarity, Hazaiah has not been recorded in any U.S. top states, indicating its use is scattered across the country.
Hazaiah is a biblical Hebrew name derived from חָזָה (chazah, 'to see') and יָה (Yah, a shortened form of Yahweh). It appears in the Old Testament as a minor figure in the genealogy of Judah (1 Chronicles 8:27). The name shares its root with other theophoric names like Hazael and Hananiah. In modern times, it has been adopted as a revival name among English-speaking populations, particularly in the United States.
