Ezri is a derivation of the Hebrew verb "ozer". "Ozer" translates into English as "to help". Ezri is translated from the Hebrew as "my help".
Ezri is used both as a surname and a given name. The earliest of use of Ezri as a given name is found in the Old Testament at 1 Chronicles 27:26 where Ezri is identified as the son of Chelub, though "Chelub" is a slight mispronounciation in the King James Bible, since the original Hebrew text in the Torah uses a "cuff" not a "chuff" character. A better rendering of the "Chelub" as, "Kelub" is found in other translations.
Ezri's occupation is described as an overseer of the workers of King David's lands.
