What is the meaning of the name Azaria ?

The baby name Azaria is a Female name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced az-uh-RY-uh (US) — /ˌæzəˈraɪə/,ah-zuh-REE-uh (alt) — /ˌɑːzəˈriːə/.

Azaria is Hebrew in Origin.

Azaria is a Hebrew theophoric name derived from Azariah/Azaryahu (עזריה/עזריהו), built on the root azar “to help” plus the divine element yah(u). Its meaning is “Yahweh has helped” or “God is my help.” In English the -h often drops to create Azaria, which reads as a sleek, unisex modern form while preserving the ancient sense.

The name appears repeatedly in the Hebrew Bible: several priests and leaders are called Azariah; the Judean king Uzziah is also recorded as Azariah; and Daniel’s companion Azariah is better known by his Babylonian name, Abednego. Revived in English-speaking lands from the Reformation onward and broadened in contemporary use for both boys and girls, it offers nicknames such as Azi, Zari, and Aria. Variants and spellings include Azariah, Azaria, Azarya, Azariyah; cognate or related names by root include Eleazar/Eliezer and Ezra.
