Primarily a boy's name · 100% boys
Origin: DutchIn Pythagorean numerology, every letter has a value from 1 to 9. Adding the letters of Ezra yields these three numbers — a playful read on the name's character.
I love that it sounds gentle but reads strong. Ezra. There's something almost musical about it that I can't quite describe. My husband thought I was being weird. Then he said it a few dozen times and came around.
— Julia, Asheville NC, 2022
Old Testament but not heavy. It's in the sweet spot — distinctive enough that there wasn't another Ezra in his kindergarten class, common enough that no one stumbles on it.
— David, Salt Lake City UT, 2020
