Meaning:sky blue
Azure is a French, Latin, and Arabic girl’s name that means “sky blue.” On the color wheel, azure falls between cyan and blue and is said to be the same color as the sky on a clear day. As beautiful to say as this hue is to look at, the name Azure has romantic, sophisticated associations. Its French sound will evoke images of Parisian cafés or glamorous, sunny beaches along the French Riviera—also known as Côte d'Azur. It is a fabulous choice for baby if they have blue eyes and French roots or if you’re hoping they’ll grow up feeling trés chic.
