Английская Википедия:Azoulay
Azoulay, sometimes spelled Azoulai, Azulai or Azulay (Шаблон:Lang-he),[1] etc. is a Sephardi Jewish surname, common among Jews of Moroccan descent. It is assumed that the family name Azulai is an acronym of the biblical restriction on whom a Kohen may marry: אשה זנה וחללה לא יקחו (Leviticus, 21:7) and, thus, indicating priestly descent. The Hebrew phrase ishah zonah ve'challelah lo yikachu means "a foreign [non-Israelite woman] or divorced [Israelite woman] shall not he [the Kohen] take".
