Azariahu is Hebrew in Origin.

Azariahu is the full theophoric Hebrew form of Azariah, from 'azar ("to help") + -yahu, a suffix invoking the divine name YHWH; it means "YHWH has helped" or "Yahweh is my help." In Hebrew it appears as עזריהו (Azaryahu), with a later shortened form עזריה (Azaryah). Names ending in -yahu are characteristic of the Kingdom of Judah in the First Temple period, and Azariahu is attested on ancient Hebrew seals and ostraca.

Biblical bearers include King Azariah (Uzziah) of Judah, several priests in Chronicles and Ezra, and Daniel's companion later called Abednego; the Septuagint renders it Azarias, and the Prayer of Azariah appears in Greek Daniel. Variants include Azariah, Azaryahu, Azaryah, and Azarias; cognates span Azarías (Spanish), Azarias (Portuguese), Azaria (Italian), and Azarie (French). Today Azariahu feels scholarly or archaic, while Azariah/Azarya sees limited modern Hebrew and English use, sometimes as a unisex choice.
