About Azura
A sparkly elaboration of the color name Azure, Azura is a vivid choice that may appeal to those who enjoy Azaria, Aurora, Astrid, and Alara. Used in English to mean "sky blue", azure ultimately comes from the Persian lājvard meaning "lapis lazuli", making this a color and a gemstone name.
While Azure was used almost equally for girls and boys in a recent year, Azura was chosen exclusively for girls — and nearly three times as often as in the US. The name has appeared in a number of video games and shows, including Fire Emblem, The Owl House, Skyrim, and Barbie: Fairytopia.
Pronounced ah-ZOO-rah.
As of October 2026, Azura ranked #1713 in US births in 2025 SSA.
