    The form is tagged as a proper noun throughout. In 1 Chronicles 7:2 the APB renders Uzzi among Tola's sons, and in 1 Chronicles 7:3 it renders him as the father of Izrahiah; 1 Chronicles 9:8 and Ezra 7:4 likewise place the name within successive family relationships. In Nehemiah 11:22 the APB identifies Uzzi in the line of an overseer of the Levites, while Nehemiah 12:19 and Nehemiah 12:42 include the name in named lists.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB generally presents the term as the name “Uzzi” in genealogical and roster-like clauses, including 1 Chronicles 7:2 and Nehemiah 11:22. In 1 Chronicles 6:36, the supplied English lineage does not display the name, so the translation does not consistently preserve every named element visibly.
