Azalea name meaning:

The name Azalea is derived from the Greek word "azaleos," meaning "dry" or "dry earth," which is fitting as the azalea flower is known for its ability to grow in dry soil. Azalea is a beautiful and delicate name for a girl, often associated with femininity, grace, and elegance. It is also closely linked to nature and its vibrant colors.

Symbolically, the azalea flower represents passion, love, and femininity. In some cultures, it is seen as a symbol of womanhood and motherhood, signifying strength and beauty.
