Azhaf is a very rare given name with North African flavor; its exact etymology is uncertain.

The form and sounds align with Arabic and Amazigh onomastic patterns, and usage skews masculine but can be unisex.

Meaning is debated. Some interpret Azhaf as a creative blend or near-rhyme of Arabic Azhar (“most radiant”) and Ashraf (“noblest”), lending connotations of brightness and honor, though no classical Arabic dictionary records Azhaf as a traditional given name. Possible spellings include Azhaaf, Azaf, and Azhafh; related names are Azhar, Ashraf, and Asaf.
