Azealia
A girl's name of Greek origin with 84 recorded U.S. births.
Meaning & Origin
Only 84 babies have been named Azealia in recorded U.S. history. That level of rarity means your child would almost certainly be the only one in their school, their workplace, and most rooms they walk into — a genuinely one-of-a-kind choice.
Azealia is not in the current top 1,000 girl names nationally, making it an uncommon choice — though your state or community may differ.
Azealia is a girl's baby name, a variant of Azalea (Greek, from azaleos, 'dry' — the flowering shrub). Rapper Azealia Banks brought this spelling to fame.
Azealia is the azalea flower with a musical edge — Greek botany meeting hip-hop artistry.
EtymologyShow more
Azealia first shows up in U.S. Social Security records in 2013. A twenty-first-century entry, Azealia belongs to the newest generation of American names — often coined, blended, or borrowed from international sources.
Its Greek classification suggests a path from greek linguistic traditions into American usage, though the specific route — whether through immigration, literature, or cultural exchange — would require deeper historical research.
