Azrikam 
There are four men named Azrikam in the Bible.
One Azrikam, son of Neariah, son of Shemaiah, is mentioned among the descendants of king Solomon (1 Chronicles 3:23); Another Azrikam is a son of Azel of Benjamin (1 Chronicles 8:38); Next is the grandfather of Shemaiah who returned with the first wave from Babylon (1 Chronicles 9:14, Nehemiah 11:15) and finally there's Azrikam the chief of staff of king Ahaz, who was slain by Zichri the mighty man of Ephraim (2 Chronicles 28:7).
The name Azrikam consists of two elements:
In Mark 5:51, Jesus uses the Aramaic cognate, when He raises Jairus' daughter from the dead by saying "talitha kum".
For a meaning of the name Azrikam, NOBS Study Bible Name List reads My Help Has Arisen. Jones' Dictionary of Old Testament Proper Names assumes that the rising part has to do with the rising of or against an enemy and reads Help Against An Enemy.
BDB Theological Dictionary does not offer a translation.
