History & Origin

Motaz is an English spelling of Arabic Mu'tazz, 'proud; mighty', from the root izz, which carries honor, strength and dignity — the same root behind Aziz and Izzat. The name has been used across the Arab world for centuries, and its short, decisive shape travels well. A name about self-respect rather than swagger (said 'moo-TAZ').

It appears rarely in the U.S., mostly in Arabic-speaking families. Rare, strong, and dignified.
