The name Azariah was given to 295 boys born in the US in 2016.
I heard this was a female name. My friend had her confirmation when she was thirteen and used Azariah as her 'new' middle name in the ceremony. *is confused*
In many other languages, names are largely gender neutral. While the -yah element is far more commonly used in Hebrew men's names, it's not exclusively masculine. Although I've noticed that it tends to be found as a prefix on "feminine" names rather than as a suffix (Jo- instead of -iah). That said, Azariah can still easily be a girl's name.
