Meaning & origin
Azaliah is a biblical name that has quietly entered the American naming landscape in the 21st century. First recorded in 2002, the name has been on a steady upward trajectory, ranking 2,859th in 2025 with a 1-in-27,242 incidence among newborn girls. Its peak year so far is 2025, indicating growing but still rare usage. The name is most popular in Florida, Texas, and California, reflecting its appeal in diverse, sunbelt states. While Azaliah shares a sound and structure with more familiar names like Azalea and Aaliyah, its biblical roots give it a distinct, spiritual resonance that may attract parents looking for a name that feels both traditional and uncommon.
Azaliah is a Hebrew name derived from the elements 'azal' meaning 'to reserve, set apart' and 'Yah' referring to God. It appears in the Old Testament as the name of a minor figure, the father of Shaphan the scribe (2 Kings 22:3). The name has seen occasional use among English-speaking Christians, particularly in the United States, where it has been recorded since the early 2000s.
