Phonetic Spelling: (ez-bah'ee)

Meaning: Ezbai

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root עָזַב (azab), meaning "to leave" or "forsake."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Ezbay in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun. However, the concept of being "forsaken" can be related to Greek terms like ἐγκαταλείπω (egkataleipō - Strong's Greek 1459), which means "to leave behind" or "to forsake."

Usage: The name Ezbay is understood to mean "forsaken" or "abandoned." It is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes reflective of circumstances surrounding a person's birth or life. The root עָזַב (azab) suggests themes of abandonment or being left behind, which could imply a narrative or prophetic significance in the context of the individual's life or family history. Names like Ezbay might have been given in times of hardship or as a reminder of divine intervention or deliverance from a state of being forsaken.
