Aza
Meaning of Aza
Aza is a gender-neutral appellation deriving from the ancient Hebrew triliteral root ʿayin-zayin-ʿayin (ʿ-Z-Z), whose core semantic domain encompasses strength, fortitude and resilience. In Hebrew onomastics this root appears in names such as Azaz and is the basis of the theophoric form Azariah, wherein the divine element –Yah augments its connotation of God-granted empowerment. Cross-linguistically, the same Semitic root yields the Arabic feminine name Aziza, signifying exaltation and dignity, thus highlighting Aza’s broader pan-Semitic heritage. In contemporary Anglo-American usage the succinct form Aza balances classical gravitas with modern brevity, making it a versatile choice for parents seeking a name that harmonizes historical depth with gender-neutral appeal.
