Azula is a modern given name with Romance roots, formed to echo Spanish and Portuguese azul (“blue”) with a feminine -a ending, and overlapping with English azure.

As a personal name, Azula entered use in the late 20th and early 21st centuries and gained wider recognition through the character Princess Azula in the animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender (2005), after which it saw sporadic but growing adoption, especially in the United States. The meaning is “blue; sky-blue; azure.” Common variants and related forms include Azura, Azure, and Azul; cognates include Italian Azzurra. Short forms such as Zula or Azzy appear in informal use, while elaborations like Azulah also appear.
