This was the name of various biblical men:
A duke (or chief) of Edom; grandson of Esau (son of Isaac) and Bashemath (daughter of Ishmael) (Genesis 36:13,17; 1 Chr. 1:37).
Twin brother of Perez; son of Judah and Tamar (Genesis 38:30; 46:12; Numbers 26:20; 1 Chronicles 2:4-6); Matthew 1:3). Called "Zara" in the King James Version of Matt. 1:3). In Numbers 26:20, his tribe is called the Zarhites (Zerhites). He was the father of five sons: Zimri, Ethan, and Heman, and Calcol, and Dara.
Descendant of Simeon, probably his son (Num. 26:13; 1 Chronicles 4:24). It has been suggested that this may the same person as Zohar (Gen. 46:10; Exodus 6:15), Simeon's son. Simeon was a son of Jacob and Leah. His tribe is also called the Zarhites (Zerhites).
A Gershonite Levite; Ancestor of one of King David's choir leaders, Asaph (1 Chr. 6:21).
Ethni's father (Levite) (1 Chr. 6:41) (possibly the same person as above).
An "Ethiopian" [or "Cushite," according to NIV] probably Osorkon II., the successor of Shishak on the throne of Egypt. With an enormous army, the largest we read of in Scripture, he invaded the kingdom of Judah in the days of Asa (2 Chr. 14:9-15). He reached Zephathah, and there encountered the army of Asa. This is the only instance "in all the annals of Judah of a victorious encounter in the field with a first-class heathen power in full force." The Egyptian host was utterly routed, and the Hebrews gathered "exceeding much spoil." Three hundred years elapsed before another Egyptian army, that of Necho (B.C. 609), came up against Jerusalem. [Matthew G. Easton]

There are two set's of twins mentioned in the bible and I'm sure this has been answered before. We have Esau and Jacob, and Tamar's twins Zeresh and Pharez. However, there is sketchy talk of Thomas (a disciple of Jesus) being a twin for the meaning of his name. there is also talk of Joseph's sons being twins but i doubt it for scripture would have said so.
The name Uriah is of Hebrew origin and means "God is my light" or "flame of God." It is a biblical name with a strong spiritual connotation.

One possibility seems to be that they were descendants of Judah's son Zerah: "The sons of Zerah were Zimri, Ethan, Heman, Calcol, and Dara" (1 Chronicles 2:6). Here the distinction Ethan the Ezrahite (Psalm 89:1) appears to mean Ethan the Zarhite or Zerahite (recalling that Hebrew was originally written with no vowels).
