Azzedine

Azzedine is a masculine given name of Arabic origin that is used primarily in North Africa and among Arabic-speaking communities. The name is often presented in various transliterations, including Azeddine, Azeddine, Azedine, and Azeddin. It is typically associated with traditional naming patterns that combine elements related to honor, majesty, or religion; the exact meaning depends on the roots and spelling used.

In cultural contexts, Azzedine is common in Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco, and it appears among expatriate communities in Europe and the Americas. The name is primarily given to boys and may appear as a personal given name rather than a family surname.

Notable people with the given name include Azzedine Alaïa (1940–2017), a Tunisian-born fashion designer whose eponymous house gained international acclaim for sculptural, form-fitting garments and a long-standing influence on couture-adjacent fashion. The name is sometimes encountered in North African media and literature, reflecting its regional roots.
