Achazia is Hebrew in Origin.

Achazia is a modern Hebrew given name derived from the biblical Ahaziah (Hebrew: Achazyahu/אֲחַזְיָהוּ), built from the root ʿ-ḥ-z “to grasp, take hold” and the theophoric element Yah(u), a form of the Divine Name. It carries the meaning “Yahweh has grasped/holds fast,” often paraphrased as “held by God” or “God upholds.” While Ahaziah is traditionally masculine in Scripture, Achazia functions today as a graceful feminine adaptation in Hebrew and Jewish communities.

Use traces back to the Tanakh, where two ninth‑century BCE kings - one of Israel and one of Judah - bear the name. The form Achazia appears in modern Israeli records but remains uncommon. Related and variant forms include Ahaziah, Achaziah, and Ahazia; Greek and Latin Ochozias; Spanish and Portuguese Ocozías/Ocozias; and Polish Achazjasz. Short forms and nicknames sometimes used are Achi, Azi, and Zia. The name suits families seeking a rare, faith-inflected choice with deep Semitic roots.
