Azarel
The name "Azarel" is derived from the Hebrew roots "azar," meaning "to help," and "El," meaning "God." Thus, Azarel can be interpreted as "God has helped" or "God is my helper." This name reflects a deep reliance on divine assistance, a theme prevalent throughout the book of Ezra, where the Israelites seek God's help in restoring their community and faith after the Babylonian exile.

Shelemiah
"Shelemiah" combines "shalom," meaning "peace," and "Yah," a shortened form of "Yahweh," the name of God. Therefore, Shelemiah can be understood as "Yahweh is peace" or "God brings peace." This name underscores the peace and restoration that God offers to His people, especially significant in the context of Ezra, where the Israelites are striving to reestablish their covenant relationship with God.

Shemariah
The name "Shemariah" is composed of "shamar," meaning "to guard" or "to keep," and "Yah," referring to God. It translates to "Yahweh has guarded" or "God keeps watch." This reflects the protective nature of God over His people, a reassurance for the Israelites as they navigate the challenges of rebuilding their community and faith.

Shallum
"Shallum" is derived from "shalom," meaning "peace" or "completeness." The name signifies a state of wholeness and harmony, which is a central goal for the Israelites in the book of Ezra. As they return from exile, the pursuit of peace and completeness in their relationship with God and among themselves is paramount.

Amariah
"Amariah" combines "amar," meaning "to say" or "to speak," and "Yah," referring to God. It translates to "Yahweh has said" or "God speaks." This name highlights the importance of God's word and promises, which are foundational for the Israelites as they seek guidance and direction in reestablishing their community.

Joseph
The name "Joseph" comes from the Hebrew "Yosef," meaning "He will add" or "God increases." This name is a reminder of God's provision and blessing, echoing the account of Joseph in Genesis, who was used by God to preserve and increase the people of Israel. In the context of Ezra, it signifies hope for growth and prosperity as the Israelites rebuild their lives and faith.
