Azenate is Hebrew in Origin.
Azenate is a Portuguese- and Spanish-influenced form of Asenath, a name of Ancient Egyptian origin found in the Hebrew Bible. It derives from an Egyptian phrase meaning “belonging to Neith” or “devoted to Neith,” referencing the goddess of wisdom and war. Through the Greek Septuagint and Latin Vulgate, the name’s forms entered wider Jewish and Christian usage; in Hebrew it appears as Osnat/Asenat.
In Scripture, Azenate/Asenath is the wife of Joseph and mother of Manasseh and Ephraim, daughter of Potiphera, priest of On. Her story was elaborated in the Hellenistic romance "Joseph and Aseneth," which helped sustain the name in late antiquity. English-speaking Puritans occasionally used Asenath in the 17th to 19th centuries; today it remains rare in English but persists as Osnat in Israel and as Azenate, Azeneth, and Asenet in Iberian and Latin American contexts. Related variants include Asenath, Asenat, Osnat, and Azenat.
