Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of ancient Israel, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes reflective of personal characteristics or circumstances surrounding a person's birth. Buzi, as the father of Ezekiel, would have been part of the priestly lineage, as Ezekiel himself was a priest and prophet during the Babylonian exile.
