What is the meaning of the name Esiah ?

Esiah is Hebrew in Origin.

Esiah is a modern given name in English, likely shaped by the cluster of Hebrew theophoric names ending in -siah. It most closely echoes Isaiah (Hebrew Yeshayahu, "Yahweh is salvation") and Josiah (Hebrew Yoshiyahu, "supported by Yahweh"), so its meaning is usually read in that devotional vein, invoking divine help or salvation. The initial E- also parallels Esai/Esaias, older forms of Isaiah found in Greek and Latin sources.

As a standalone, Esiah remains rare, surfacing in late-20th and early-21st-century records alongside the broader rise of -iah names. Usage is sporadic in the United States and United Kingdom and tends to be masculine, though modern naming makes it flexible. Related forms and near-variants include Isaiah, Esaias, Esai, Josiah, Osiah, and the nickname Siah; cognates in Syriac/Aramaic traditions include Eshaya/Ishaya (Isaiah). Alternate spellings sometimes seen are Eziah or E'siah, and diminutives such as Esa or Si occur informally.
