Jazara
Meaning of Jazara
Jazara is a modern feminine name with possible roots in Arabic and Hebrew traditions; it resembles the Arabic word jazārah, meaning “island,” and echoes the Hebrew Azara, connoting “support.” Its island motif suggests resilience and serene independence. Pronounced juh-ZAR-uh (/dʒəˈzærə/), the name’s stress on the second syllable gives it a clear, resonant quality. Though it does not appear in classical name compendiums, its cross-cultural phonetic blend lends it a distinctive yet accessible character. In the United States, Jazara has registered between six and thirty-six newborns annually over the past two decades and ranked around the 900s—with 30 occurrences and a position of 920 in 2024. Its steady presence—despite remaining outside the mainstream—suggests a gradual but sustained appeal among parents seeking a fresh alternative, with the added bonus of sparing families from classroom name-sharing.
