عزّة / عزّة (من الجذر ع ز ز)

Izzati is a historically attested female given name in Malay-speaking Muslim communities, derived from the Arabic root ʿizz (عزّ) meaning 'honour' or 'might'. The Malay/Indonesian feminine form Izzati (and related Izzah, Izzat) reflects common patterns of adopting Arabic abstract nouns into local naming practice. Izzati is documented in civil records and contemporary usage in Malaysia and Indonesia and carries cultural resonance with Arabic-language names expressing dignity and respect. It is semantically connected to related names such as [[Izzat]] (a close Arabic form) and [[Azizah]] (feminine from the Arabic 'ʿAzīz' meaning 'mighty'/'beloved'), which share the same semantic field. Izzati is regarded as appropriate in Islamic naming norms because the root and meanings are well-established in classical Arabic and Islamic literature; however, the precise Malay vocalization is a local adaptation rather than a classical Arabic given name.
