Azure is a French-origin given name derived from 'azur', meaning 'light blue sky'. It evokes images of clear skies and tranquil seas, and has been used as a given name for centuries, though its popularity has varied over time. Today, Azur is considered uncommon but appreciated for its unique sound and French origins, often given to boys but can also be used for girls. There are no famous individuals named Azur in history, but it has been used in literature like 'Azur' by Maurice Bedel.
