Azori is a modern American coinage of uncertain origin; it may echo the Azores islands, whose Portuguese name means goshawks, or blend Azari and Zuri, the Swahili word for "beautiful". It has no established history and is chosen purely for its sound. Azori was ranked beyond number 13,000 in 2015 and still outside the top 6,000 in 2024, then leapt to number 2,723 in 2025, its best rank, with 63 births.
