Nazai Origin and Meaning

The name Nazai is a boy's name meaning "from Nazareth; herald; honest, virtuous; victory, triumph".

A modern creation that rose up the charts in 2024, Nazai's newfound popularity is likely inspired by its soundalikes, Zakai, Azai, and Azariah. Given to just 5 boys in 2023, by 2024, 87 babies were bestowed the name.

Possibly influenced by Nazaire, Nazai could have its roots in Hebrew, with the meanings "branch" or "watch", or more generally, "from Nazareth". Alternatively, it could be drawn from Arabic names such as Nazir, Nasr, and Nazih, which are associated with heraldry, virtue, and triumph respectively.

It is understandable why Nazai has gained popularity in recent years, however, one thing to consider before using it is that it is one letter away from a very negative association.
