Ezra (עזרא in Hebrew) is a unisex forename, or Jewish surname of Hebrew origin, which means "help" or "helper" in the Hebrew language.

The name originated from the Biblical prophet Ezra who authored the Book of Ezra (a book of the Bible). The name is a probable abbreviation of the name Azaryahu which means "God helps". The name alternatively has the Greek-Latin form Esdras which was used for the prophet Ezra which comes from the Greek word (Ἔσδρας). The masculine name grew in popularity in the United States between 2000 and 2018, its ranking climbing from 431st to 59th.
