Ezra
Biblical Hebrew · “From the Hebrew "Ezra" meaning help or assistance, derived from the root "ʿ-z-r" meaning to help or support. In the Hebrew Bible, Ezra is the priest and scribe who led the return of Jewish exiles from Babylon to Jerusalem and played a central role in reconstituting the Jewish community around the Torah, making him a founding figure of normative Judaism.”
Amos
Biblical Hebrew · “From the Hebrew "Amos" meaning "carried" or "borne by God" — the passive participle of the root "a-m-s" meaning to carry or bear a load. In the Hebrew Bible, Amos was a shepherd-prophet from Tekoa who, without formal prophetic training, delivered some of scripture's most forceful indictments of social injustice and religious hypocrisy in 8th-century BCE Israel.”
Elijah
Biblical Hebrew · “From the Hebrew "Eliyahu" meaning "my God is Yahweh" or "Yahweh is God", compounded from "El" (God) and "Yahu" (a form of the divine name). Elijah is one of the greatest Hebrew prophets, known for his dramatic contest against the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel and his translation into heaven by a chariot of fire (2 Kings 2).”
Zechariah
Biblical Hebrew · “From the Hebrew "Zekharyah" meaning "God has remembered" or "Yahweh remembers", compounded from "zakhar" (to remember) and "Yah" (divine name). In the Hebrew Bible, Zechariah is a major post-exilic prophet whose visions of apocalyptic renewal and messianic kingship are among the most complex prophetic texts in scripture.”

Isaac
“From the Hebrew "Yitzchak" meaning "he will laugh" or "he laughs", from the root "tz-ḥ-q" meaning to laugh. In the Hebrew Bible, Isaac's name commemorates the laughter of his elderly parents Abraham and Sarah when they were told they would have a child — laughter of disbelief that became laughter of joy, making his name a permanent memorial to the miracle of his birth.”
Solomon
“From the Hebrew "Shlomo", derived from the root "sh-l-m" related to the word "shalom" meaning peace, completeness, and wholeness. Solomon was the son of David and the third king of Israel, renowned in the Hebrew Bible for his extraordinary wisdom, vast wealth, construction of the First Temple, and his authorship of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Songs.”
Leah
“From the Hebrew "Le'ah" whose etymology is debated — proposed meanings include "weary", "wild cow" (from Akkadian "littu"), or "mistress". In the Hebrew Bible, Leah is the elder daughter of Laban, who is given to Jacob as his wife through deception, while he loved her younger sister Rachel — her story explores themes of being the unloved wife who nevertheless bears the greater part of Jacob's legacy.”
Sarah
“From the Hebrew "Sārah" meaning princess or noblewoman, derived from the root "s-r-r" meaning to be noble, to rule. In the Hebrew Bible, Sarah (originally "Sarai") is the wife of Abraham, the first matriarch of the Jewish people, who bears her son Isaac at an impossibly old age — her story encodes the paradox of faith and laughter, waiting and miraculous fulfillment.”
Samson
“From the Hebrew "Shimshon" meaning "sun" or "of the sun", possibly derived from "shemesh" (sun) — the name may connect to the sun's strength and brilliance. In the Hebrew Bible, Samson is the judge of Israel whose supernatural strength, bound to his uncut hair, is betrayed by Delilah, leading to his capture, blinding, and final act of destructive sacrifice.”
Benjamin
“From the Hebrew "Binyamin" meaning "son of the right hand" or "son of the south" (as the right hand was associated with the south in Hebrew directional orientation). In the Hebrew Bible, Benjamin is the youngest and most beloved son of Jacob and Rachel, the only full brother of Joseph, and the ancestor of the tribe of Benjamin — including King Saul.”
