Boy name
Uzi name meaning
“my strength; my might”
Uzi means “my strength” or “my might.” It comes from Hebrew ʿuzzī, whose possessive form expresses strength belonging to the speaker. Used as a masculine name in Türkiye, it also serves as a shortened form of longer Hebrew names such as Uziel, giving it a direct connection within that naming tradition.
What does Uzi mean?
My strength; my might
In Turkish: gücüm; benim kuvvetim
Uzi belongs to a Hebrew naming tradition based on a word for strength and may also be rendered Uzzi. The familiar use of the same spelling for a firearm does not define the personal name. That weapon was itself named after its designer, so the common-noun association should be distinguished from the name's linguistic origin.
Origin of the name Uzi
Hebrew ʿuzzī (עוזי) means 'my strength' and functions as a personal name. It can also be a short form of longer Hebrew names such as Uziel.
