Azena, pronounced uh-ZEE-nuh (/əˈziːnə/), is a feminine name whose elusive etymology invites academic intrigue: though absent from surviving Roman epigraphy, its phonetic resonance evokes the Latin serenus (“clear, tranquil”) and the vivid hue of azura, conjuring an image of a tranquil Mediterranean dawn. Its syllables fall like soft marble upon the ear, imbuing the bearer with an air at once poised and luminously serene. First recorded in U.S. birth registers in 1913—with five occurrences situating it at rank 479—Azena then slipped into a century-long dormancy before reemerging subtly in the early 2020s, peaking at nine newborns in 2023. This gentle revival underscores its rarefied charm: like a hidden fresco in a sun-lit villa, Azena beckons those who seek a name that harmonizes classical gravitas with poetic grace, weaving together antiquity and modernity in a single, elegant utterance.
