1. Aziz

   Aziz (Arabic: عزيز, ʿazīz, [ʕaziːz]) is a Hebrew and Arabic male name. In Arabic the feminine form of both the adjective and the given name is Aziza. In Hebrew Aziz is derived from the root עזז meaning "strong, powerful". In Arabic it is derived from the root ʕ-z-z, again meaning "strong, powerful", while the adjective has acquired the meaning of "dear, darling, precious". In the Old Testament Aziz was the son of Shema and the father of Bela. In the Latinised form "Azizus" it is attested as the name of one of the Arab Priest-Kings who ruled Emesa (the modern Homs, Syria) as clients of the Roman Empire. In ancient Levantine mythology, Azizos or Aziz is the Palmyrene Arab god of the morning star. The Arabian goddess Al-Uzza, also related to the planet Venus, is named from the same root ʕ-z-z. Al-Aziz is one of the names of God in Islam. The "Al" makes the word "Aziz" proper. "Aziz" without "Al" is used as a royal title borne by the high nobles of Egypt, being a title borne by the prophet Joseph in the Quranic Surah-e-Yusuf, and also by the Biblical Potiphar, referred to in the Quran as Aziz. It is used in existing Semitic languages such as Arabic, Assyrian Neo Aramaic, Mandic, Hebrew, and also in non-Semitic languages like Turkish, Kurdish, Armenian, Azerbaijani, Persian, Urdu, Pashtu, Dari, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Turkmen, Uzbek, Uyghur, Balochi, Bengali, Somali, Indonesian, and Malaysian. Aziz is a common masculine given name, especially in the Muslim world but it has also continued to be used by non-Muslim peoples in the Middle East, e.g. Assyrians, and Mandeans.
