Meaning and background
The story behind Azul
Azul simply means “blue” in Spanish. It can refer to the colour of the sky or sea, making it a direct colour-word choice rather than a historical personal-name translation. The deeper ancestry proposed for the word reaches back through Arabic and Persian, but the Royal Spanish Academy explicitly describes that pathway as uncertain. The Spanish pronunciation puts the stress on the second syllable.
