Azoulay

Azoulay , sometimes spelled Azoulai, Azulay, Azulai, etc. is a Sephardic Jewish surname, common among Jews of French, North African, Israeli, and Canadian background, descended from Spanish exiles.

The source of the name is debated. Some have linked it to the Spanish phrase 'ojos azules' (blue eyes). Some linguists argue that it is an acronym of a passage from the bible "They shall not take a wife that is a whore, or profane" ( Leviticus 21:7), indicating that the Azoulay name-bearers are members of the Cohen tribe.
