Azarias

Meaning of Azarias

Azarias is a vibrant, sunlit name that dances off the tongue like a festive Latin melody—born from the Hebrew “Azaryahu,” meaning “Yahweh has helped,” then woven into Greek and Latin traditions as a badge of divine backup. In Spanish it sings as ah-thah-REE-ahs (/a.ˈta.ʁjas/), and in English it sparkles as ah-ZAR-ee-uhs (/ɐ.ˈzɐ.ˈri.əs/). Picture a little boy named Azarias, bursting into the world with the protective warmth of an ancient story, his name like a warm embrace from generations past. Though still rare—just 40 newborns claimed it in the U.S. in 2024, landing at rank 884—its steady climb feels like a friendly wave across time, inviting every proud parent to join the fiesta of faith, history, and heart in one irresistible syllable.
