Azuri is a modern American name built on the color word azure, the deep "sky blue" that English borrowed, via Old French and Arabic, from the Persian word for lapis lazuli. It fits the current taste for color names such as Indigo and Violet and echoes names like Zuri and Amari. Azuri rose from number 3930 in 2015 to a high of number 1507 in 2023 and stands at number 1883 in 2025.
