Fire or flame
In Persian, Azar is a name deeply rooted in Zoroastrianism, representing the sacred fire. It is also the name of the ninth month in the Iranian calendar and is associated with the warmth and light of the hearth. While primarily used in Persian-speaking regions, it also appears in Hebrew contexts as a name meaning 'help'.
