Azaiah is Hebrew in Origin.
Azaiah is a masculine Hebrew name ultimately related to Azariah, from the verb 'azar, "to help," plus the theophoric element -yah ("Yahweh"). It is thus read as "Yahweh has helped" or "help of God," and is sometimes interpreted "Yah is my strength" by association with the cognate Azaziah. The name appears with the longer form Azaryahu in Biblical Hebrew.
In the Old Testament it identifies several minor figures - priests, Levites, and officials named in Chronicles, Ezra, and Nehemiah - and survives in English through varying transliterations. Modern use has grown with the popularity of -iah endings; while chiefly male, it can be used unisex. Variant forms and spellings include Azariah (standard biblical), Azaryah, Azaryahu, Azaria, Azaya, Azayah; related names are Azaziah and Asaiah (distinct etymology). Nicknames Ziah and Aza are common.
