Etymology

The word 'azure' originated from the Persian word 'lajvard', which referred to a type of blue stone. It entered the English language in the 14th century and has been used to describe the color blue ever since. In the context of cloud computing, 'Azure' was chosen by Microsoft to evoke the idea of the sky and the vastness of the cloud.
