Origin
Azelf appears to be a pixie or a fairy and the color cyan, although its name suggests that it's an elf. Azelf and the rest of the trio could possibly have originated from the Imperial Regalia of Japan, which are also called the Three Sacred Treasures. Azelf would be the Sword of Valor.
Name origin
Azelf comes from azure and elf or us and elf. The first part of its Japanese name may come from the Japanese verb 倦ねる aguneru, meaning to lose interest in and gnome. It could also be a combination of the English us and gnome.
