Aazib is an Arabic word that means "unmarried", "bachelor". It is not a good name to use because there was a Sahabi (companion of the Prophet ﷺ) whose name was Aazib and the Prophet changed his name to Afeef. This shows us that the Prophet did not like this name, and for this reason we should not use it.

I personally think it’s a wonderful name. It’s a very strong handsome, masculine name. Beautiful Arabic name.
