Ozra is in Origin.
Ozra is a rare Persian and South Asian transliteration of the Arabic feminine name ʿAdhrāʾ (عذراء), meaning “maiden,” “chaste,” or “the Virgin,” an epithet traditionally applied to Mary (Maryam al-ʿAdhrāʾ). In non-Arabic languages the Arabic consonant ذ is typically realized as z, giving the familiar form Azra; vowel shifts in Persian, Turkish, and Urdu yield Uzra and the less common Ozra. The name is thus most often found in Muslim communities across Iran, Turkey, the Balkans, and the Indian subcontinent.
Documented in classical Arabic usage and carried into Persian and Ottoman naming traditions, Ozra remains an uncommon but culturally resonant choice. Common variants include Azra, Uzra, Uzrah/Ozrah (transliterations), and the Turkish-influenced Üzra. It is predominantly feminine. Though phonetically similar to the Hebrew boy’s name Ezra, Ozra/Azra is unrelated etymologically and retains its meaning of purity and maidenhood.
