God strengthens
Derived from the Hebrew name Yechezkel, it combines the elements 'chazaq' (to strengthen) and 'El' (God). In the Old Testament, Ezekiel was a major prophet who authored the Book of Ezekiel while in exile in Babylon. It has seen a significant resurgence in the 21st century as a powerful, multi-syllabic biblical choice.
