Ezri is a derivation of the Hebrew verb "ozer". "Ozer" translates into English as "to help". Ezri is translated from the Hebrew as "my help".

Ezri is used both as a surname and a given name. The earliest of use of Ezri as a given name is found in the Old Testament at 1 Chronicles 27:26[1] where Ezri is identified as the son of Chelub, though "Chelub" is a slight mispronounciation in the King James Bible, since the original Hebrew text in the Torah uses a "cuff" not a "chuff" character.[2] A better rendering of the "Chelub" as, "Kelub" is found in other translations.[3] Ezri's occupation is described as an overseer of the workers of King David's lands.

Notable instances of the name Ezri include:

  • Ezri Dax, fictional character from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
  • Ezri Konsa (born 1997), English professional footballer
  • Ezri Namvar (born c. 1952), Iranian-born American businessman, philanthropist and convicted criminal
  • Ezri Tarazi (born 1962), Israeli industrial designer and educator for design
  • PO EZRI, passenger bus company from Indonesia
