Meaning & History

Means "my God is strength" or "my God is fine gold" in Hebrew, derived from Hebrew el "God" and paz "pure gold, fine gold" (from the root pazáz "to purify gold, to strengthen"). In the Old Testament, this was the name of the firstborn son of Esau and Adah. It also belonged to a friend of Job.
