Azarius is an uncommon yet distinctive given name of Latin origin, derived from the Roman family name Aelius. It is composed of two elements: 'aelius', meaning "of the clan Aelii", and 'arius', indicating someone who belongs to a particular group or profession. The name Azarius therefore signifies a person connected with the ancient Roman clan known as the Aelii, which was considered noble and prominent in Roman society during the Republican period.
