Meaning and background
The story behind Azra
Azra is an established feminine personal name in Arabic and also used in Turkish, Bosnian, Persian and Urdu. Its Arabic source word means “virgin” or “maiden”; those are historical lexical meanings, not statements about an animal’s character. The Arabic form begins with a consonant that English speakers may not reproduce. Two syllables still give Azra a compact, clearly recognisable shape as a dog name.
