Azari Origin and Meaning
The name Azari is a girl's name meaning "helped by God; shining, brilliant".
Azari is a rising unisex name (although currently more popular among girls) invented as a variation of Azariah or Azhari. With its I-ending and prominent Z, we see Azari going places — this is one to watch, especially with Azariah, Azaire, and Azair rising on the boys' side and Azaria and Zariah on the girls'.
As a variation of Azariah, this name has its origins in Hebrew, and means "helped by God", however, it may also be a form of the Malay Azhari, which ultimately derives from the Arabic Zahra meaning "shining".
In 2023, Azari was among the newest additions to the US Top 1000 girl names, given to over 400 baby girls as well as almost 100 baby boys.
