Section 4 · What Families Say
What People Usually Mean by This Name
Azzedine is the Maghrebi French-influenced spelling of عز الدين (ʿIzz ad-Dīn), 'the glory, the strength, the dignity of the religion.' The compound combines the Arabic root ع-ز-ز (to be strong, to be honoured, to be inviolable, the same root as the divine Name al-ʿAzīz) with ad-dīn (the religion, the way of life given by Allah). The full name therefore means 'the one whose strength is the strength of the faith.'
The name is widely used across the Maghreb and is associated with the medieval scholar Imam ʿIzz ad-Dīn ibn ʿAbd as-Salām (1181–1262), a Cairene jurist of the Shāfiʿī school known as Sulṭān al-ʿulamāʾ, the sultan of scholars, for his fearless scholarship under Ayyubid and Mamluk rule. Notable modern bearers include Azzedine Alaïa, the legendary Tunisian-French fashion designer, and Azzedine Brahmi, the Algerian Olympic athlete. The Mashriqi spelling is Izz ad-Din or Izzedin.
