In ancient Levantine mythology, Azizos is a god of the morning star of Aramean origin from Palmyra.[5] The Arabian goddess Al-Uzza, related to the planet Venus, is named from the same root.[6] Al-ʿAzīz is one of the names of God in Islam.[7] ʿAzīz without al- is used as a royal title borne by the high nobles of Ancient Egypt.[8]
It is still used in existing Semitic languages such as Assyrian, Arabic, Hebrew, neo-Aramaic, Mandaic, and Maltese, and is found among Semitic speaking Christians, Jews, Muslims and Gnostics.
It later also spread to non-Semitic language families like Berber languages, Caucasus languages, Iranian languages, Indic languages, Turkic languages and among various language families in Sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia.
Aziz is a common masculine given name, especially in the Muslim world, but it has also continued to be used by earlier pre-Islamic and non-Muslim peoples in the Middle East, like Jews, Assyrians, Arameans, Mandeans, Armenians, etc.
