Hezekiah is a Hebrew name that means "God strengthens" or "the Lord is my strength"; King Hezekiah of Judah is remembered in the Bible for his religious reforms and the tunnel that brought water into Jerusalem. The name was a favorite of the Puritans and still carries an old-fashioned, Southern feel. Hezekiah entered the US top 1000 in 2006 and has climbed steadily from number 673 in 2015 to number 485 in 2025, its highest rank so far.
