History & Origin
Azilee shows up in United States records from the late 1890s, mostly in the South. Its origin is unclear; it may echo Azalea or simply pair a pretty A- opening with a -lee ending, in the inventive spirit of the era.
It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its high around 1921 and rare throughout, though it lingered in scattered records into the two-thousands. A girl named Azilee at its peak would be a great-grandmother today.
