Name meaning and origin
The name Murtuz is of Arabic origin and is the form of the word "murtaza" (مرتضى) that developed in the Azerbaijani language. The word derives from the root r-d-y (to be pleased, to approve) and means "chosen", "approved", "well-pleased", "preferred". It expresses that the bearer is chosen, valued, and respected.
Murtaza has historically been known as one of the epithets given to Hazrat Ali ibn Abu Talib, and for this reason it became widespread in Muslim circles. In Azerbaijan it is used in both the Murtuz and Murtaza forms. Although the meaning "to choose" appears in various verses of the Quran, it does not feature directly as a name. From an Islamic standpoint there is no prohibition on bearing the name.
