Meaning and etymology of the name Uzza
|
|
| | |
Uzza 
The name Uzza occurs a few times in the Bible, most famously as the man who tried to stop the Ark from falling off a cart (1 Chronicles 13:7). He is a son of Abinadab and brother of Ahio. In the parallel text of 2 Samuel 6:6 his name is spelled  (Uzzah). Other men named Uzza are a son of Gera of Benjamin and a brother of Ahihud (1 Chronicles 8:7); a man who owns a garden that somehow belongs to the palace and in which king Manasseh is interred (2 Kings 21:18 - perhaps this Uzza is the same as king Uzziah, see 2 Chronicles 26:23); and a man mentioned among the temple servants who returned from exile with Zerubbabel (Ezra 2:49).
For a meaning of the name Uzza both NOBS Study Bible Name List and Jones' Dictionary of Old Testament Proper Names read Strength.
