Meaning and background
The story behind Azima
Azima has a botanical identity: Kew’s Plants of the World Online recognises it as a genus in the Salvadoraceae family. Its recorded native range extends from tropical and southern Africa into parts of Asia and Malesia. This offers a plant-related reference for a gardener or someone interested in tropical flora. The genus is a specific scientific use of the spelling, rather than proof of a given name’s translation. In particular, a definition for the different surname Arima should not be presented as Azima’s history.
