Meaning and history

This name comes from the Hebrew name עֲזַרְיָה (ʿAzarya) meaning " Yahweh has helped", derived from עָזַר ( ʿazar ) meaning "help" and יָהּ ( yah ) referring to the Hebrew God. This is the name of many Old Testament characters including one of the three men the Babylonian king ordered cast into a fiery furnace. His Babylonian name was Abednego.
