Is that the way your friend actually spells her name, or is that the way it just sounded to you? The closest name I could find to that is "Azrael". Azrael is traditionally the Angel of Death.
I also found a woman ("mystic and shaman") on the 'net who happens to call herself Azrael:

And, best of all, she's a massage therapist, too! I dunno, but somehow it just strikes me as perversely amusing that a massage therapist should have named herself after the Angel of Death. Whoa, don't let this chick walk on your bare back, is all I have to say. :)
