Aziz sounds Assyrian for dear. When I was just a cute little boy the grownups were all like "aziza!" to me. I'm still cute.  ------------- Our earth is degenerate in these latter days; bribery and corruption are common; children no longer obey their parents; the end of the world is evidently approaching. - Assyrian clay tablet 2800 B.C |

anyway, Aziz doesn't mean 'honey' in Persian. Aziz means 'Dear', and 'Asal' means honey. ------------- "I won't laugh if a philosophy halves the moon"

I thought that John was "Yahya" in Arabic and Johannes was "Yunus" in Arabic. Also, Moses is "Musa" in Arabic. ------------- |

 .It is pronounced with S at the end.He actually has 2 names,Azis or Azizis but he threw away the second one.Any possibility to be Persian or sth like that? ------------- "There are worse crimes than burning books.

yes thats correct. there are alot.
i dont know, depends whats his background, it could be Arabic. the name AL-Azeez is one of God's names in Arabic too, and usually the name Abd comes before it, for example the founder of Saudi Arabia and the Father of the king now is Called AL-Malik Abd AL-Azeez which means King Abd Al-Azeez and Abd means Servant. about your freind i dont know it could be Arabic and it could be similar name to the Arabic but from somewhere else.

Azis could be Greek (correct me if I am wrong) just because of the "is" prefix but Aziz is definately of Arabic origin. i s the s pronounced like a z or is it like an "s"? ------------- |
