Meaning & origin
Azalie is a rarely used floral name that first appeared on U.S. records in 1914, when it also reached its peak rank of 10,917. Since then, it has maintained a stable but extremely low usage, with approximately 1 in 200,908 babies receiving the name in 2025. Its spelling variants and connection to the azalea flower give it a delicate, nature-inspired appeal. While never popular, Azalie's stable trajectory suggests it has a small but enduring niche among parents seeking unique botanical names.
Azalie is a floral name derived from the azalea flower, which itself comes from the Greek word 'azaleos,' meaning dry or parched, referring to the plant's preference for dry soil. The name emerged in English-speaking countries in the late 19th century as part of the Victorian flower-naming trend, though it has remained rare. Its earliest recorded use in the United States dates to 1914, and it has never achieved widespread popularity.
