A name that means "forsaken (jehoshaphat's mother)".

Azubah (עֲזוּבָה) means "forsaken" in Hebrew. In 1 Kings 22:42, Azubah was the daughter of Shilhi and mother of King Jehoshaphat of Judah. In Isaiah 62:4, the name is used metaphorically for Zion before its restoration.

Rare but iconic in biblical scholarship.

Where Azubah stands.

Azubah does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.

Azubahs before her.
