Azer is in Origin.

Azer is a masculine given name in Azerbaijani and Turkish, ultimately from Persian Āzar (آذر) “fire,” also the ninth month of the Iranian calendar and a key symbol in Zoroastrian tradition. In Persian the form Azar is widely used, often as a feminine name; Arabic Āzar appears in the Qur’an as the name attributed to Abraham’s father, reinforcing the name’s circulation across the Middle East. The Azerbaijani spelling Azər reflects the native schwa vowel.

Use is concentrated in Azerbaijan, Turkey, and Iranian communities, with modern associations to Azerbaijan’s epithet “Land of Fire.” Medieval and early modern Persian literature preserved Āzar as a poetic image of warmth, passion, and sacred light, and the name gained steady 20th‑century use in Azerbaijan. Variants and transliterations include Azər (Azerbaijani), Āzar/Azar (Persian), and Āzar/Azar (Arabic). Related meanings cluster around “fire,” “flame,” and “ember.”
