Azalaïs

An Occitan and Medieval French form of Adelais, this name is ultimately related to the noble and stately Adelaide. It is likely the source of stylish French Zélie.

The name was historically borne by 11th-century noblewoman Azalaïs of Montferrat, a patron of troubadours (performers and composers) who also became the regent of Saluzzo, Italy, while another bearer was the 12th-century composer and writer, Azalais de Porcairagues

Also appearing as Azalais and Asalais, it may be pronounced as A-ZUH-LAY-EES or A-ZA-LA-EES.

Pronounced ah-zah-lah-EES.
