Paza as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Paza

What is the meaning of the name Paza ?

The baby name Paza is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced PAH-zah (IPA: /ˈpɑːzə/).

Paza is Swahili in Origin.

Paza is a rare cross‑cultural feminine name built on two well‑known roots: Spanish Paz and Hebrew paz. In Spanish, Paz (“peace”) is a virtue name associated with the Marian title Nuestra Señora de la Paz; adding the -a ending creates the softer Paza, commonly interpreted as “peace.” In Hebrew, paz denotes refined or fine gold, so Paza also reads as a creative feminization that suggests “golden” or “precious.”

Usage is sporadic and contemporary, appealing to parents seeking a concise, international sound. It fits modern trends of reviving compact virtue names and reshaping meaningful nouns into given names. Related forms include Paz (Spanish), the compound María de la Paz, and Hebrew derivatives Pazia and Pazit; Paza can be viewed as a bridging variant among them. Typical pronunciation is PAH‑zah. Its layered meaning - peace and precious metal - gives the name a tranquil yet luminous character.
