Aomizu (青水) - Ao (青) means blue, a reference to her alter ego as Cure Azure, and her theme color, which is blue. Mizu (水) means water and she controls water (and snow) as Cure Azure.

Sapphire (サファイア) - From the name of the gemstone, the blue birthstone of September, which is derived from Greek sappheiros, ultimately from the Hebrew word sappir. Koe (コエ) - Koe is a Japanese word, which means Voice. Maybe her friends started to call Sapphire Koe, because of her great singing voice.

Cure Azure - Her Cure alias is based on the given name Azure, which comes from the English word that means "sky blue". It is ultimately from Persian lajvard meaning "azure, lapis lazuli".
