Ezekiels

Ezekiels is a surname that appears in a limited number of families. It likely originated as a patronymic form of the given name Ezekiel, which derives from Hebrew Yehezkel, meaning “God will strengthen.” The addition of the -s suffix can indicate lineage or may reflect anglicization and transliteration in diaspora communities. The name is relatively uncommon and is found across several countries, especially in contexts where biblical given names have been adopted as family names.

In contemporary records, individuals bearing the surname Ezekiels have been active in a range of professions, including education, business, and the arts. Because the surname is not widely standardized, spellings and pronunciations may vary, and some lines of descent may use Ezekiel as a surname instead of Ezekiels.

There are few widely documented figures who are primarily identified by the surname Ezekiels, and the name is generally encountered as a rare surname rather than a dominant family name.
