I know there are many suggestions about Ez referencing various characters below, but I also wanted to add that he shares some similarities with Ezalor from Dota2. While I know that he shares his name with Riot lead designer, it's strikingly similar to this one too.

Besides, Ezreal's pre-release kit was similar to Ezalor's. His ultimate was, and still is, similar to Ezalor's Q-skill illuminate. His kit was centered on not only carrying, but also healing/restoring mana. And finally the theme of shooting light-projectiles. My guess is that Ezreal (character) was intended as a cozy character for Ezreal (person), who liked Ezalor back in DotA (community-made one) days, and wanted to be a carrying champion. What do you think about that?
