Azeez
Aziz (Arabic: عزيز, romanized: ʿAzīz; Hebrew: עָזִז, romanized: ʿAzīz; Akkadian: 𒀀𒍣𒍪, romanized: ʿEzīzū) is a Semitic name from the root two-zayin. In the Hebrew Bible, the root two-zayin (ז-ז) means 'reputable, powerful, sublime'. In the 1 Chronicles, Aziz was the son of Shema and the father of Bela. Azizus (Latinised), attested as an Arabian or Nabatean king who ruled Sampsigeramids of the Roman Empire.
In ancient Levantine mythology, Azizos is a god of the morning star of Aramean origin from Palmyra. The Arabian goddess Al-Uzza, related to the planet Venus, is named from the same root. Al-ʿAzīz is one of the names of God in Islam. ʿAzīz without al- is used as a royal title borne by the high nobles of Ancient Egypt.
It is still used in existing Semitic languages such as Assyrian, Arabic, Hebrew, neo-Aramaic, Mandaic, and Maltese, and is found among Semitic speaking Christians, Jews, Muslims and Gnostics.
It later also spread to non-Semitic language families like Berber languages, Caucasus languages, Iranian languages, Indic languages, Turkic languages and among various language families in Sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia.
Aziz is a common masculine given name, especially in the Muslim world, but it has also continued to be used by earlier pre-Islamic and non-Muslim peoples in the Middle East, like Jews, Assyrians, Arameans, Mandeans, Armenians, etc.
