Azeneth
A girl's name of Hebrew origin with 1,478 recorded U.S. births.
Meaning & Origin
Azeneth has 1,478 recorded U.S. births across 55+ years, peaking at 161 in 2003. It occupies the space between “never heard of it” and “everyone has one in their class” — a name that feels personal without being obscure.
In the most recent SSA release, Azeneth ranks #2403 among U.S. girl names — distinctive enough to stand out.
Azeneth is a girl's baby name of Hebrew origin, a variant of Asenath, meaning 'she who belongs to Neith' (an Egyptian goddess) or possibly 'thorn bush.' In the Bible, Asenath was the Egyptian wife of Joseph, making this a name that bridges Hebrew and Egyptian cultures.
EtymologyShow more
Azeneth first shows up in U.S. Social Security records in 1969. Arriving in the 1960s, Azeneth appeared during a period when American naming was beginning to diversify beyond the traditional Anglo-Saxon and biblical pools.
Its Hebrew classification suggests a path from hebrew linguistic traditions into American usage, though the specific route — whether through immigration, literature, or cultural exchange — would require deeper historical research.
