Aziz, (Arabic,عزيز) originally a Syriac word and name, is also an Arabic name, and spans other areas such as Russia. "Aziz" in Arabic is derived from the root A-z-z and it means one that is 'powerful', 'strong', 'respected', and is a cognate of Hebrew oz - "might," "strength," "power.". Al-Aziz is one of the 99 names of God in the Islamic religion.

Aziz is a common name for people ranging from Assyrians to Kurds and Arabs. It also exists in a feminine form, Aziza. The name Aziz is found over a vast geographical territory, spanning from North Africa to Europe and Asia, including Russia, Armenia, and others (such as New Zealand).

Sometimes in English the name is spelled "Azzyz". The prefix "Abdul" is also used often before the name Aziz, this is especially prevalent in Arab countries. Abdulaziz came from two words "Abd-" (which means slave of) and "Al-Aziz" (meaning in this case Allah).
