Meaning & origin
Uziah is a rare biblical name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 2002. It reached its peak rank of 7,194th in 2022, but has since declined, falling 0.1 in rank since 2023. With only 1 in 155,280 boys receiving the name in 2025, it remains an uncommon choice. The name is a variant of Uzziah, a king of Judah, and carries the meaning 'the Lord is my strength.' It has no recorded usage in any U.S. state as a top name, reflecting its very limited geographic spread.
Uziah is a variant of Uzziah, which derives from the Hebrew name Uzziyah, meaning 'the Lord is my strength.' In the Hebrew Bible, Uzziah was a king of Judah whose reign is described in the Books of Kings and Chronicles. The name has been used among English speakers since the Protestant Reformation, though it has never been common. Its modern usage in the United States is rare, with records starting only in 2002.
