This is one of the Academy's earliest reports. We are not confident that these early reports are accurate. Please use it with caution.

Greetings,

Here's the information we found on "Azelina" and its variants as an English name.

We found a number of later forms of the same name used by men and women. Most of them are recorded in Latin--the "us," "i," and "a" endings are Latin grammatical endings. If you used the name, you could choose to register a Latinized form or to use the spoken English form, which would be "Azelin."

We found one later form recorded in English--"Ascelyn" from 1273. It is possible that "z" for "sc" is a form which dropped out of usage before the "y" began to be used. Thus, we can recommend an earlier form "Azelin/Azelina" or a later form "Ascelin/Ascelyn/Ascelina."

We hope this has been helpful. If you have further questions, please contact us.

In service,
Alan Fairfax
