Azriah is a unisex given name of Hebrew origin, derived from the word 'azar' which means 'to help.' It is pronounced /uh-ZRY-ə/. This name has been used in both Jewish and Muslim communities throughout history. In Hebrew, Azriah is often associated with the concept of assistance or support, as it shares a root with words like 'ozzer' meaning 'assistant' and 'ezra' meaning 'help.' The variant spelling 'Azariah' is also found, particularly in biblical texts where it appears as a name of several individuals, including a priest during King Hezekiah's reign.
The name Azriah has seen a resurgence in recent years, with both 2015 and 2019 recording five or more births. However, it remains relatively uncommon overall, with just 16 recorded births in total across the two centuries.
