Azariah

Azariah sings with a psalmist's cadence. The Hebrew Azaryah means "Yahweh has helped," and the name belongs to more than two dozen figures in the Old Testament, including the prophet, a high priest, and the Judean king also called Uzziah. It was one of the companions spared the fiery furnace in the book of Daniel. Long the domain of Hebrew school rosters, Azariah has become one of the standout unisex biblical revivals of the twenty-first century, ranked 503 for both boys and girls. Four syllables that end on a lifted sigh, ancient and light at once.
