Azia

Azia is a feminine name with multiple possible origins. It may be a variant spelling of Asia, referring to the continent and deriving from Assyrian word 'asu' meaning 'to rise' (as the sun rises in the east). Alternatively, it could be a variation of the Hebrew name Aziza meaning 'beloved' or 'powerful.' With its melodic quality and distinctive 'z' sound, Azia offers a contemporary feel while maintaining connections to ancient origins. The name remains relatively uncommon but has seen modest usage in the United States since the 1990s, appealing to parents seeking names that are both unique and internationally recognizable.

Pronounced AY-zhuh.

As of October 2026, Azia ranked #5260 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #2029 in 1995.
