Frost or dry cold, in the Turkic weather-word naming tradition.
The study explains ayaz as dry cold/frost and explicitly identifies Ayaz as a personal name in Turkish and Azerbaijani. This supports that particular naming route, not a universal translation of every Latin-spelled Ayaz. The separate Arabic transliteration history already documented here remains distinct; no Arabic meaning or English pronunciation is inferred.
Turkic; a separate Arabic transliteration tradition also occurs.
The exact personal-name article distinguishes Turkic Ayaz from Arabic-derived Ayyad or Ayyaz, which can also be romanized as Ayaz. Shared Latin spelling does not make these one etymology. No Arabic meaning is inferred.
Not yet published for this spelling.
Counts apply only to the exact spelling, place, year and recorded usage shown. Places are separate; these figures are never added into a worldwide total. Missing or suppressed records never mean zero.
| Place | Year | Recorded usage | Published births | Rank | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Canada | 2025 | Boys | 14 · preliminary | 1565 | 2025 figures are preliminary. Quebec counts below five are randomly imputed by the publisher before national aggregation. Accents are removed in the source; this profile was matched only where the catalog spelling was unambiguous. Unpublished values are unknown, not zero. Rank basis: source published. |
| France | 2025 | Boys | 165 (rounded to 5) | 320 | Counts are rounded to the nearest multiple of five. Ranks use unrounded publisher counts with randomly ordered ties; equally rounded counts can have different ranks. National coverage excludes Mayotte before 2012. Missing years are unavailable, not zero. Automated direction labels are withheld for this rounded-count series. Rank basis: source published. |
| England & Wales | 2025 | Boys | 70 | 556 | Source-reported counts; unpublished names are not zero. Rank basis: source published. |
| Scotland | 2024 | Boys | 3 | 727 | Source-reported counts; unpublished names are not zero. Rank basis: source published. |
| Ireland | 2022 | Boys | 3 | 779 | Names below three occurrences are unpublished. Accent recording changed in 2018; comparisons across that boundary may not describe the same spelling coverage. Counts refer to registrations in the year. Missing years are unavailable, not zero. Rank basis: source published. |
| United States | 2025 | Boys | 50 | 2604 | Source-reported counts; unpublished names are not zero. Rank basis: calculated from published counts. |
Canada, Ireland and France coverage includes confidently matched existing profiles only; unmatched spellings are awaiting review. French counts are rounded to five.
