Ezra

Ezra is a short, two-syllable name of Hebrew origin with a biblical tradition, associated with the figure of the priest and scribe Ezra. Historically it is a masculine name, although foreign sources also acknowledge its feminine use. When choosing it for a daughter, one must therefore distinguish its documented meaning from the unverified tradition of it being a feminine name in Slovak.

Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Hebrejské meno עֶזְרָא (Ezra) súvisí s koreňom ע־ז־ר označujúcim pomáhanie a vykladá sa ako „pomoc“. Tradične ide o mužské biblické meno; používanie pre dievčatá nemení jeho etymológiu.

Sources and scholarly methodology: Pôvod, význam a možnosť ženského použitia uvádza Union for Reform Judaism. Tradičné mužské zaradenie a výslovnosť uvádza Behind the Name. Uvedené ženské skloňovanie je aplikáciou vzoru žena podľa Morfológie slovenského jazyka, nie osobitne overeným heslom Ezra. Štyri až sedem ustálených slovenských zdrobnenín sa nepodarilo doložiť, preto je pole prázdne. Hodnoty null označujú neoverené ženské ekvivalenty; mužské biblické podoby ich nenahrádzajú. Konkrétne spracovanie ženského mena Ezra v publikácii Milana Majtána nebolo overené.
