Qur'anic / Islamic Reference

Surah At-Tawbah 9:30

Ozair is a real, historically attested variant spelling of Uzair (Arabic: عزير), a name that appears in Islamic discourse and is associated with the biblical Ezra in comparative studies. The Quran references the figure Uzair in Surah At-Tawbah (9:30) where a historical claim about him is mentioned; the verse is a primary textual attestation in Muslim sources. In South Asia, including Sindhi-speaking communities, Ozair is encountered as an orthographic variant used in personal names and registries. The root sense corresponds to 'help' or 'one who assists' paralleling the Hebrew origin of Ezra. For comparison and onomastic context see [[Uzair]] and [[Ezra]] which illustrate the interreligious naming lineage. Ozair is relatively uncommon and considered a rare, traditional choice for families seeking a Quranically-noted yet less frequent name. Batch ID: 95096.
