It is also very interesting the French form, Azalée, is pronounced as Desirée or Aimée. I found this very friendly French translation; We have other interesting translations: Azalee (German), Azlia (Arabic), Azalija (Belarusian) Azaliya (Bulgarian), Jindallae (Korean), Azalka (Slovak), Asalea (Estonian), Atsalea (Finnish), Asealas (Welsh) azalai (Hindi), Azeylia (Yiddish), Azalia (Polish), Acelya (Turkish).

I thought Azalea was a modern name, but I've just found that between 1837 and 1915 (haven't checked later) 48 babies were given this name, either as a first name or middle name, in England.
The earliest was Azalea Platts, born in Sheffield in 1866.
The unluckiest was Gladiolus Azalea Clarke, born in Leicester in 1891. (I found four others in the same time period with the Gladiolus name: Gladiolus Ermine Blake, Olive Gladiolus Corps, Gladiolus Ivy Shearman, and poor Gladiolus Gooch.)
