Strong's Lexicon Ezbay: Ezbay Original Word: אֶזְבַּי Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine Transliteration: Ezbay Pronunciation: ez-bah'-ee Phonetic Spelling: (ez-bah'ee) Definition: Ezbay Meaning: Ezbai Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root עָזַב (azab), meaning "to leave" or "forsake." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Ezbay in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun. However, the concept of being "forsaken" can be related to Greek terms like ἐγκαταλείπω (egkataleipō - Strong's Greek 1459), which means "to leave behind" or "to forsake." Usage: The name Ezbay is understood to mean "forsaken" or "abandoned." It is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes reflective of circumstances surrounding a person's birth or life. The root עָזַב (azab) suggests themes of abandonment or being left behind, which could imply a narrative or prophetic significance in the context of the individual's life or family history. Names like Ezbay might have been given in times of hardship or as a reminder of divine intervention or deliverance from a state of being forsaken.
