Azia is a feminine given name of Greek origin, derived from the ancient term for Asia (Greek Ἀσία) and carried into Latin and modern English usage. Pronounced AY-zhuh, it offers a fresh variant of Asia that conveys both the idea of dawn and the vastness of the East, while fitting smoothly into Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking contexts. In the United States, Azia first appeared among newborn girls in the early 1980s and has held a place in the top 1,000 ever since; in 2024 it ranked near 930 with 20 registrations, reflecting its appeal to parents seeking a name with global resonance.
