Name meaning and origin
Gazala derives from the root ğazəl in Arabic; this root is the source of both the ghazal, a poetic genre, and the gazelle, an animal name. For this reason Gazala primarily carries the meaning of the gazelle, the delicate, graceful animal, and bestows grace and beauty on a girl.
The name's second meaning refers to the morning sun that appears over the horizon at dawn; in both readings the name is considered auspicious. Although it is rarely encountered as an independent name in Azerbaijan, it fits the tradition of animal-derived girl names like Ceyran and Maral, so it can easily be chosen.
