Azurah as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Azurah

What is the meaning of the name Azurah ?

The baby name Azurah is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced uh-ZOO-rah (IPA: /əˈzuːrə/; alternate: uh-ZUR-uh /əˈzʊrə/).

Azurah is English in Origin.

Azurah is a modern elaboration of Azura, a feminine name ultimately tied to the English color word azure. Azure traces to Old French azur, from Arabic lāzaward, itself from Persian lāžvard “lapis lazuli,” hence the sense “sky‑blue, azure.” Some traditions also record Azura as a post‑biblical figure (the Book of Jubilees names Seth’s wife Azura), but the name’s meaning there is unclear; contemporary use most often draws on the vivid blue imagery.

As a given name Azurah is rare before the late 20th century and sees modest use in the Anglophone world today, buoyed by nature and color names and occasional pop‑cultural exposure (e.g., fantasy settings using Azura/Azurah). Variant forms and cognates include Azura, Azure, Azur, Azurie/Azuri, and Italian Azzurra; related nicknames include Zura and Zuri. Overall meaning: “azure; sky‑blue; lapis‑lazuli blue.”
