Esdras

The name "Esdras" is found in the title of four texts (entitled Ezra, Nehemiah, 1 Esdras, 2 Esdras in most English versions) attributed to, or associated with, the prophet Ezra. The naming convention of the four books of Esdras differs between church traditions; and has changed over time.

For the given name, see Esdras (given name).

Esdras (Greek: Ἔσδρας) is a Greco-Latin variation of the Hebrew name "Ezra" (Hebrew: עזרא).
