Azala is a modern feminine name shaped by several linguistic streams.

Azala can also be interpreted as a clipped form of the Biblical Hebrew Azaliah/Azalia (Azalyahu), usually glossed “Yahweh has reserved” or “Yahweh has protected,” giving it a theophoric, devotional sense.

As a given name, Azala is rare but has grown quietly in the late 20th and early 21st centuries alongside other vowel-rich, nature-inspired choices. Usage is scattered across English-speaking countries and among global communities favoring sleek, two-syllable forms. Variants and relatives include Azalea, Azalia, Azaliah, Azelia, and Zala; nicknames Aza, Zalie, or Zala are common. Overall meanings range from “azalea blossom” to “one reserved by God.”
