What is the meaning of the name Ayaz ?

The baby name Ayaz is a boy name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced ah-YAHZ.

Ayaz is Turkish in Origin.

Ayaz is a Turkic masculine name based on Turkish and Azerbaijani ayaz, the noun for frost, clear freezing weather, or dry cold air. Its historical written form is Ottoman Turkish ایاز, romanized Ayāz, used in Persianate court records as well as Turkish contexts. The word is not a transparent modern compound; final -z belongs to the lexical stem. It is unrelated to Arabic ʿIyāḍ, although that name is sometimes Latinized as Ayaz.

As a personal name, Ayaz is prominent in the Ghaznavid and Seljuk sphere, notably Malik Ayaz, the 11th-century slave, commander, and companion of Sultan Mahmud of Ghazni. It remained established in Turkish and Azerbaijani naming and entered Urdu and South Asian Muslim usage through Persianate channels. Iyaz and Ayas are transliteration or regional spelling variants. Recent rankings show measurable use in Turkey, Azerbaijan, Tatarstan, and several European countries.
