To be loved or liked
Azende is a rare name of African origin, specifically from the Luganda language of Uganda. It is derived from the verb root meaning to love or to be liked, carrying a message of being cherished by the community or family. While extremely rare in the United States, it follows the phonetic appeal of other popular 'A' names.
