Probably a modern spelling of Ezra or Ezri, from Hebrew roots meaning 'help' or 'my help.'
Ezrie is a soft, lyrical variant of Ezra, one of the most venerable names in the Hebrew biblical tradition. Ezra derives from the Hebrew Ezra or Azara, meaning "help" or "God is my help," and the biblical Ezra was a pivotal figure: a scribe and priest who led a group of Israelite exiles back from Babylon to Jerusalem in the fifth century BCE and played a defining role in reassembling and codifying the Torah. His book in the Hebrew Bible is one of the latest canonical texts, and his work as a scholar-administrator gave the name enduring associations with learning, restoration, and faithful diligence.
In its modernized Ezrie form — sometimes also spelled Ezri or Ezrey — the name sheds some of the gravitas of the original while retaining its gentle, two-syllable musicality. The -ie ending feminizes and softens without fully gendering the name, making Ezrie attractive as a gender-neutral option at a moment when parents are actively seeking names that feel lyrical and literary without being rooted in either traditionally masculine or feminine conventions. Ezra itself experienced a major revival in the 2010s, boosted in part by singer-songwriter Ezra Koenig of Vampire Weekend, and Ezrie can be read as that wave's softer, quieter cousin.
Literary parents will also note that the Ezra sound has a long poetic pedigree — Ezra Pound, one of the most influential (and controversial) modernist poets, carried the name through the early twentieth century. Ezrie takes that intellectual inheritance and wraps it in something warmer and more intimate, a name that feels like it belongs to a poet not yet born.
