What Does the Name Azarii Mean?
Azarii is a form of the Hebrew name Azariah (עֲזַרְיָה), meaning "Yahweh has helped." The name combines the verb ʿazar (עָזַר), "to help," with Yah (יָה), a shortened form of the divine name YHWH. It is a theophoric name, so its literal sense is a statement about God's help rather than a general word for "helper." The Greek form was Azarias, and the Latin forms Azarias and Azarius; Azarii belongs to this same family of transliterated forms. In Ukrainian the name is written Азарій, which is rendered in English as Azarii.
Azarii Name History & Origins
Azariah appears in the Hebrew Bible as the name of several figures, including a king of Judah who is also called Uzziah, a prophet during the reign of Asa, and one of Daniel's companions, who is renamed Abednego. The Greek form Azarias was used in the Septuagint and in the book of Tobit, where the angel Raphael calls himself Azarias. Latin Christian texts used Azarias and Azarius, and vernacular forms developed from these, including Russian Azariy and Ukrainian Азарій. The Ukrainian form is transliterated as Azarii; its final -ii is a feature of that transliteration rather than a separate ancient Hebrew element.
