Origin
Meaning and history of Azriella
The name Azriella has its origins rooted in Hebrew culture and language. It is a variant spelling of the name Azriel, which itself is a combination of two Hebrew words: "ezri," meaning "my help," and "el," a name referring to God. As such, the name Azriella can be interpreted as "God is my help" or "God helps."
Azriella was not a widely used name in ancient times, but it did appear in some historical records and texts related to Jewish culture and religion. The name Azriel is mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, specifically in the Book of Chronicles, as the name of a leader of the tribe of Manasseh. While this reference is to the masculine form of the name, it provides an early example of its existence and usage.
One of the earliest recorded individuals with the name Azriella was a Jewish scholar and writer from the 16th century named Azriella Ben-Gurion. Born in Spain in 1525, she authored several works on Jewish law and ethics, making significant contributions to the field of Jewish studies during her lifetime.
In the 19th century, Azriella Jacobs (1811-1888) was a prominent figure in the Jewish community of London. She was known for her philanthropic efforts and her work in supporting Jewish education and social welfare initiatives in the city.
Another notable figure was Azriella Zion (1865-1941), a Zionist activist and writer from Russia. She was a vocal advocate for the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine and contributed numerous articles and essays to the Zionist cause.
In more recent history, Azriella Hildesheimer (1920-2001) was a renowned Israeli author and translator. Born in Germany, she fled to Palestine during the Holocaust and went on to write several acclaimed novels and short story collections, often exploring themes of identity and the Jewish experience.
While the name Azriella is not extremely common, it has persisted throughout history, primarily within Jewish communities, as a name imbued with religious and cultural significance.

FAQ
Azriella: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Azriella?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 231 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Azriella going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 1,483,785 US residents.
Is Azriella a common name?
We classify Azriella as "Very Rare". It ranks above 76.1% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 233 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Azriella most popular?
The single biggest year for Azriella was 2019, when 31 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Azriella is about 9 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Azriella in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Azriella a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Azriella in the SSA data are female. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Azriella still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Azriella in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Azriella can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
