Azari is a modern American name without a fixed traditional meaning; parents usually link it to the Hebrew Azariah, "God has helped", or to the Persian azar, "fire", and it is best read as "a short form of Azariah". Its sound matches the popular Amari and Zuri, which explains its quick rise among American girls. Azari entered the US top 1000 in 2023 at number 696, its peak so far, and ranks number 766 in 2025.
