About Azure
Azure is a colorful gender-neutral choice, currently used equally for baby girls and boys in the US. It refers to a specific shade of blue seen in a cloudless sky. Elon Musk revealed Azure to be the name of his daughter with Shivon Zilis, twin sister to Strider.
In the Middle Ages, azure was another name for lapis lazuli, the gemstone used to make the brilliant pigment seen in much medieval art. In fact, the word comes from the Persian lājvard, which denotes the blue gemstone.
Given to around 30 babies in a recent year, Azure has been over taken by elaborate form, Azura.
Pronounced AZ-yur.
As of October 2026, Azure ranked #6360 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #1005 in 1975.
