Meaning & origin
Azzie is a concise and informal name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1888. It saw its greatest use in the 1890s, with its peak year in 1897, when it ranked 467th nationally. After the early 1900s, its use declined sharply and has remained very low ever since, with a stable trajectory. The name is predominantly given to girls, though it could serve as a nickname for Azariah for boys. Despite its vintage charm, Azzie never ranked among the top 500 names after 1897 and has not been recorded in the top 1000 in recent decades. Its rarity gives it a distinctive, old-fashioned feel, but parents today may find it too obscure for a first name.
Azzie is typically a diminutive of longer names such as Azalea or Azariah, though it can also be used independently. The name may also be a variant of Aussie, referring to Australia, though this is less common. It emerged in the late 19th century in the United States, peaking in popularity in the 1890s.
