What is the meaning of the name Aziz ?

The baby name Aziz is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced Arabic: /ʕaˈziːz/; English: /əˈziːz/ (ah-ZEEZ).

Aziz is Arabic in Origin.

Aziz is a masculine given name from the Semitic root ʿ-Z-Z, meaning “mighty, powerful, esteemed,” and by extension “dear.” In Arabic, al‑ʿAzīz is one of the 99 Names of God, giving the name strong theophoric resonance; a cognate exists in Hebrew (“strong, dear”), and the adjective lives on in Persian, Urdu, and Turkish with the sense “beloved.” The name is used across the Arab world, North Africa, South and Central Asia, and Southeast Asia; spellings include Aziz/Azeez in Latin script and Азиз in Cyrillic.

Attested since the early Islamic centuries, it appears among rulers and scholars, such as the Fatimid caliph al‑ʿAzīz Billah (10th century). Variants and related forms include Azeez, Abd al‑Aziz/Abdelaziz (“servant of the Mighty”), Azizah (Arabic and Swahili feminine), Azize (Turkish feminine), and Azizi (surname or given name). Diminutives like Zizo occur regionally. Aziz balances strength with affection, signaling dignity and cherished status.
