HEZEKIAH m

Usage: Biblical

Pronounced: he-ze-KIE-a

From the Hebrew names Yechizqiyah and Chizqiyah, which both mean "YAHWEH strengthens". In the Old Testament this name belongs to a king of Judah and an ancestor of the prophet Zephaniah.

Could use Kye as a NN. Just keep in mind that people are going to mispell it, and mis pronounce his name.

But if you like it go for it. Youll know if its right or not! Good Luck.
