Azriella

Meaning & origin

Azriella is a modern Hebrew-derived name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 2005, reflecting contemporary naming trends that blend traditional roots with fashionable suffixes. The name has been rising in use since 2008, reaching its peak popularity in 2019. While still relatively rare, with about 1 in 57,402 newborns receiving it in 2025, Azriella has a consistent appeal among parents seeking a melodic, feminine variant of the biblical Azriel. Its steady growth over nearly two decades suggests it resonates with families attracted to names that feel both spiritual and modern. The name is strongly associated with female assignment, and its origins in Hebrew give it a clear cultural and linguistic heritage.

Azriella is a modern feminine elaboration of the Hebrew name Azriel, which means 'God is my help' (from עזר 'ezer, help, and אל 'el, God). Azriel appears in the Hebrew Bible as a figure in the tribe of Manasseh (1 Chronicles 5:24). The suffix -ella, common in contemporary coinages, gives the name a melodic, feminine feel. Azriella first entered the U.S. Social Security data in 2005, reflecting the trend of creating new names from biblical roots.
