עז

Oz is a short and powerful Hebrew name that expresses the essence of inner strength and courage. The root of the name appears numerous times in the Bible and Jewish literature, representing both spiritual and physical might. The word 'oz' appears in scripture in various contexts - as a fortress and place of refuge, as an expression of divine power, and as a noble human quality of courage and determination. The name carries a message of standing firm in the face of difficulties, of believing in one's own abilities, and of determination to face life's challenges. In modern Israeli culture, the name Oz has acquired an additional and special significance. It is associated with the famous Battalion 77 'Oz' of the 7th Armored Brigade, which gained great renown in Israel's military campaigns. This connection has transformed the name into a symbol of military valor, dedication, and courage in the Israeli tradition. Many parents choose this name to endow their children with qualities of strength of character, determination, and courage to face life's challenges. The name also expresses a connection to Zionist values of defending the land and willingness to sacrifice for the collective good. Linguistically, the name Oz can be written in two forms: in defective spelling 'עז' and in full spelling 'עוז'. Both forms are accepted and common, with the full spelling emphasizing the long sound of the letter vav. The name fits well with the modern trend of short and concise names that carry deep meaning in a single word. It is suitable for babies from all sectors of Israeli society - religious and secular alike, and is perceived as an authentic Israeli name that connects ancient tradition with modern reality. The name Oz gives its bearer a sense of self-confidence, inner strength, and the ability to cope with any situation in life.
