Book of Ezekiel is also the name of a person, Ezekiel.

Ezekiel, a priest and a prophet, ministers during the darkest days of Judah's history: the seventy-year period of Babylonian captivity. Carried to Babylon before the final assault on Jerusalem, Ezekiel uses prophecies, parables, signs, and symbols to dramatize God's messaage to His exiled people. Though they are like dry bones in the sun, God will reassemble them and breathe life into the nation once again. Present judgement will be followed by future glory so that "you shall know that I am the Lord" (Ezekiel 6:7).

The Hebrew name Yehezke'l means "God Strengthens" or "Strengthened by God." Ezekiel is indeed strengthened by God for the prophetic ministry to which he is called (Ezekiel 3:8, 9). The name occurs twice in this book and nowhere else in the Old Testament. The Greek form in the Septuagint is Iezekiel and the Latin form in the Vulgate is Ezechiel.
