Azize

Azize is a female given name of Turkish origin. It is widely used in Turkey and in regions influenced by Turkish culture, including Azerbaijan and the Balkans, as well as among Turkish-speaking diaspora communities. The name derives from the Arabic root aziz, meaning "mighty, revered, dear," with the feminine form Azize. In Islamic tradition, al-Aziz is one of the ninety-nine names of God, which contributes to the name’s associations with strength, dignity, and respect.

As a given name, Azize is used primarily for girls and can appear in combination with other names in Turkish usage. The spelling Azize is common in Turkish, while related forms such as Aziza or Azizah appear in Arabic-speaking and other Muslim communities.

Variations and related names include Aziz (masculine) and Aziza (feminine) in different languages. The form and popularity of Azize can vary by country and community, reflecting broader linguistic and cultural influences rather than a single rigid tradition.

In contemporary usage, Azize is regarded as a traditional and culturally resonant name within Turkish-speaking communities. It is predominantly a given name and is less commonly found as a surname.
