Meaning & origin
Azarya is a modern Hebrew name that has seen steady growth since its first recorded use in 2003. In 2025, it ranked 7,133 in the U.S., with about 1 in 107,151 babies receiving the name. Its popularity peaked in 2025, reflecting a rising trajectory that began around 2004. Though historically a masculine variant of the biblical Azariah, Azarya is now used for both boys and girls, fitting a broader trend of biblical names being adopted across genders. While not yet among the top names, its consistent climb suggests increasing appeal among parents seeking a name with spiritual roots and a contemporary sound.
Azarya is a modern transliteration of the Hebrew name Azaryah (עֲזַרְיָה), meaning 'Yahweh has helped.' It is a variant of Azariah, a name borne by several figures in the Hebrew Bible, including a high priest and a prophet. Though historically masculine, Azarya has gained traction as a unisex name in contemporary use, especially in the United States since the early 2000s.
