From Portuguese azul.

=== Etymology ===
Learned borrowing from Tuareg uhal (“to greet”) and/or tǝhult (tǝhult, “greeting”), coined by Mouloud Mammeri.
The form azul reflects a mistaken adaptation of Tuareg /h/ as /z/. Tuareg /h/ can reflect Proto-Berber */z/, but comparative evidence from other Tuareg varieties shows that the underlying consonant in this word is */h/, not */z/.
