Azadeh (Persian: آزاده) is a historically attested Persian feminine name meaning 'free', 'liberated' or, by extension, 'noble'. It appears in Persian literary and vernacular usage and is adopted in Persian-speaking and some South Asian Muslim communities. The name emphasizes personal freedom and moral dignity rather than a specific religious narrative; it is therefore used across cultural contexts where Persianate literary influence exists. In onomastic grouping it pairs naturally with botanical and Persian-root names such as [[Golnar]] and classic short forms like [[Azar]]. Azadeh is not a Quranic name; its use is cultural-literary, and its meanings are verifiable in Persian and Urdu lexica (آزاد/آزاده).
