About the name Azzurra
Azzurra is an Italian name taken from the adjective azzurro, meaning azure or sky blue. The word passed into Italian through medieval Latin and Arabic from the Persian lajward, the name of a region known for lapis lazuli, the deep blue stone. Blue holds a special place in Italian culture as the colour of the House of Savoy, which ruled the Kingdom of Italy, and as a result Italian national sports teams are known as the Azzurri after their blue shirts. The yacht Azzurra represented Italy in the America’s Cup sailing competition. The masculine adjective azzurro is not used as a given name.
