Azira
A girl's name of Hebrew origin with 85 recorded U.S. births.
Meaning & Origin
Among U.S. girl's names, Azira currently holds position #9622. It is known but far from saturated — a name that registers without repeating.
With records spanning 2008 to 2024, Azira has a focused history that reflects a particular moment in naming culture rather than a centuries-old tradition.
In the most recent SSA release, Azira ranks #9622 among U.S. girl names — distinctive enough to stand out.
Azira is a girl's baby name of Hebrew origin, possibly a variant of Azaria or related to the Hebrew ez (strength, power), meaning 'strong, powerful.' It may also carry associations with the Arabic aziza (precious, beloved). With over 85 births, Azira is a rare name that bridges Hebrew and Arabic naming traditions in a form of spare, crystalline beauty.
EtymologyShow more
Names travel. They cross oceans, change spelling, shift pronunciation, and accumulate new associations with each culture that adopts them. Azira is rooted in the Hebrew tradition, but its presence in American naming since 2008 means it has been shaped by English phonetics, local customs, and the cultural context of the families who chose it.
Azira’s rarity (85 recorded births) may indicate it is strongly tied to a specific cultural community or family tradition, rather than part of the broader American naming mainstream.
