Strong's Lexicon Uzziyya: Uzziah Original Word: עֻזִּיָּא Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root עֹז (oz), meaning "strength" or "might," combined with יָהּ (Yah), a shortened form of Yahweh, the name of God. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Uzziah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name. However, the Greek Septuagint transliterates it as Οζίας (Ozias). Usage: The name Uzziah means "Yahweh is my strength" or "The LORD is my strength." It is used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, most notably for a king of Judah. Cultural and Historical Background: Uzziah was a king of Judah who reigned in the 8th century BCE. His reign is noted for its military successes, economic prosperity, and significant building projects. However, his pride led to his downfall when he unlawfully entered the temple to burn incense, an act reserved for the priests, resulting in him being struck with leprosy. His account is a reminder of the importance of humility and obedience to God's laws. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfrom azaz Definition one of David's heroes NASB Translation Uzzia (1).
