How to Pronounce Azzie
Pronounced AZ-ee /ΛΓ¦z.i/High
Meaning: Azzie is an affectionate pet name, most often a short form of a longer A-name such as Azalea, Asa or Aslee, given as a stand-alone first name in the early twentieth-century American South. Its meaning is inherited from whichever parent name it shortens, so it is best read as a nickname rather than a name with its own etymology.Low

History & Origin
Azzie reads as a warm diminutive rather than a formal name, likely clipped from Azalea, Aslee or a similar A-name and then recorded in its own right. The habit of registering such pet forms as birth names was widespread in the early-twentieth-century South, where Azzie mostly appears.
It was always modest β a few dozen girls a year at most around its faint nineteen-twenties peak β and it reads today as a cozy, old-fashioned nickname-name. It has not revived, though it shares the friendly sound of currently fashionable -ie names.
