Meaning & origin
Azuriah is a rare biblical variant of Azariah, a name borne by several figures in the Hebrew Bible. Since its first recorded U.S. appearance in 2003, it has never broken into widespread use. Its peak year was 2023, but it has been on a falling trajectory since 2022. In 2025, it ranked 8,910th with a frequency of 1 in 213,510 births, making it an extremely uncommon choice. The name's biblical roots and melodic sound appeal to parents seeking a distinctive yet traditional name. While its top states are not recorded, its usage appears scattered across the country. Azuriah balances rarity with a clear meaning and heritage, suitable for those wanting a unique name with deep historical resonance.
Azuriah is a variant of Azariah, from the Hebrew Azaryahu, combining 'azar' (help) and 'Yah' (a shortened form of Yahweh). It appears in the Hebrew Bible as the name of several individuals, including a high priest and a prophet. The modern usage in the United States is rare but has seen occasional use since the early 2000s, reflecting a trend of reviving biblical names.
