Azelie

Meaning of Azelie

Azélie (pronounced uh-ZAY-lee) is a feminine name of French origin, often linked to the delicate azalea flower through the Greek azaleos, meaning “dry.” It carries an air of natural elegance and quiet strength, and it also honors Saint Zélie Martin (1831–1877), celebrated for her steadfast faith and as the mother of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux. In the United States, Azélie first appeared in the top 1,000 at rank 949 in 2010, then re-emerged more steadily from 2018 onward, reaching 917 in 2024. Its floral resonance might prompt the occasional comment about a gardening seminar, yet the name’s graceful simplicity remains its enduring asset.
