Aziliz is Breton in Origin.

Aziliz is a Breton feminine name, the Breton form of Cecilia, from Latin Caecilia (f. of Caecilius), ultimately based on caecus “blind.” In Brittany it also carries the cultural aura of Santez Aziliz - Saint Cecilia - patron of music and musicians, which lends the name associations with song, creativity, and festivity in local tradition.

Use is documented in medieval Brittany alongside dedications to Saint Cecilia, then waned under the dominance of French forms before being revived during the 20th-century Breton cultural renaissance. Today it remains rare but recognizably Breton, most common in western France with occasional appearances across Francophone and Celtic-interested communities. Breton variants include Azilis; wider equivalents and cognates are Cécile/Cécilia (French), Cecilia (English, Italian, Spanish), Cecylia (Polish), and Cecily (English). Related short forms abroad include Celia and Ceci.
