Azelia is Greek in Origin.
Azelia is a feminine name with layered roots. In English it’s commonly viewed as a variant of the flower name Azalea, from Greek azaleos “dry,” with modern associations of grace and resilience. It may also echo the biblical Hebrew Azaliah/Azalyahu, meaning “Yahweh has reserved/guarded,” giving the name a theophoric reading. In French and Portuguese, the related forms Azélie/Azélia are attested and linked to Saint Marie‑Azélie (“Zélie”) Martin.
Use in English-speaking records is sparse before the 20th century, then revived alongside nature-inspired names in recent decades. Azelia remains uncommon but accessible through its kin Azalea and Zélie. Variants and cognates include Azalea, Azélia, Azélie, Azalia, Azaliya, and Azaliah; short forms Zélie, Azie, and Lia appear regionally. Overall meanings span “azalea (flower)” to “set apart/protected by God.”
