Azha is pronounced AH-zhuh, and it traces back to Arabic, though as a first name it's more of a modern pick than one drawn from long-standing tradition. You may run across the idea that it means 'brightness' or 'radiance' — that claim doesn't hold up, since there's no reliable Arabic source that backs the translation, so it's worth taking with a grain of salt. What it does offer is a short, soft sound with an international feel.
