About Azalia
Azalia is a feminine name derived from azalea, the vibrant flowering shrub whose name originates from Greek 'azaleos' meaning 'dry' (ironically, as the plant thrives in moisture). This botanical name carries exotic flair and natural beauty, evoking images of colorful blossoms. Azalia offers a slight variation from the more common spelling Azalea, giving it a unique quality while maintaining the floral connection. The name has never been widely popular but has seen modest usage in the United States and Spanish-speaking countries. With the rising popularity of flower names and names ending in '-ia,' Azalia appeals to parents seeking a distinctive yet recognizable botanical name with cross-cultural appeal and a melodic sound pattern.
Pronounced uh-ZAY-lyuh.
As of October 2026, Azalia ranked #2331 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #1522 in 1898.
