Names like Ezra
Ezra is a two-syllable Hebrew name that ends on a vowel. Each list below follows one of those threads on its own, so you can see exactly what the names share.
The same sound
Two syllables, ending the same way as Ezra.
Ara Armenian · legendary Armenian king Ara the Beautiful of Armenian mythology
Thura Burmese · hero, brave one, from Pali sura (သူရ); also awarded as a gallantry title in Myanmar
Sora Japanese · sky
Dara Khmer · star; from Sanskrit tara. A true unisex classic and a great accidental crossover: the same spelling exists as an Irish name and a Persian one, so Cambodian American kids rarely have to explain it twice
The same roots
Also Hebrew names, from the tradition Ezra comes from.
Noah Hebrew · "rest," from the Hebrew Noach, the ark-builder who rode out the flood; quiet for most of the 20th century, then the defining boys' name of the 2010s in the US and much of Europe. Gentle in sound, patriarch in weight
Ethan Hebrew · "firm, enduring," from Eitan; in the Bible a sage whose wisdom only Solomon surpassed. An early-American favorite that returned in the 1990s and stayed; solid by etymology and by temperament
Asa Hebrew · "physician, healer"
Levi Hebrew · traditionally "joined, attached," from the hope Genesis records at his birth; the priestly tribe of Israel descends from him. Centuries of Jewish use, a denim-tinged American ring, and a 2010s surge that made it a fresh-feeling classic
