What does Azra mean?
Azra means “Maiden; virgin”.
Azra is a name used in Turkish and Bosnian tradition with roots in an Arabic word for a maiden or virgin. The meaning belongs to the older word and its religious and literary associations, rather than prescribing a way for a modern bearer to live. Its short form has remained recognizable as it moved into languages using different writing systems.
The name is distinct from Ezra, despite their close appearance in English letters. Azra's history follows an Arabic word into later naming traditions, while Ezra has a separate Hebrew origin. For families with Turkish or Bosnian connections, Azra can preserve an established cultural name in a compact spelling that does not depend on an abbreviated longer form.
