The name Azahar is a boy's name of Arabic origin meaning "shining, brilliant".

Used predominantly in India, Bangladesh, and Malaysia, Azahar is a variation of the name Azhar, giving it the same shining meaning. The name coincides with a feminine Spanish name of the same spelling, and while they both share the same Arabic root, the Spanish name comes from a Marian title and is associated with orange blossoms. 

Azahar

Arabic

The name Azahar is a girl's name of Arabic, Spanish origin meaning "orange blossom, flower".

Bright and distinctive with a nature-related meaning, Azahar is taken from one of many titles for the Virgin Mary, in this case, Nuestra Señora del Azahar meaning "Our Lady of the Orange Blossom". Used at a church dedicated to her near Murcia in Spain, the title is used to reflect the abundance of citrus trees in the area, and because the sculpture of the Virgin there depicts her holding an orange blossom branch in her hand.
 
Pronounced as a-tha-AR in European Spanish and a-sa-AR in Latin America, the name ultimately comes from the Arabic zahra meaning "flower, splendor" or "brilliant, shining" depending on the spelling. It does therefore coincide with the Arabic masculine name, Azahar, used as a Malay and Bengali form of Azhar.
