Azura Skye is an American actress.

She is the daughter of Julie and Daniel Storozynski. Her parents were amateur gemologists, and named her after azurite, a semi-precious mineral, and a color often associated with the sky, from which she chose her stage surname.

Azura’s maternal grandfather was actor Brad Johnson (born Elmer Bradley Johnson, the son of Carl Elmer Johnson and Eula Ball/Belle Bradley). Brad was born in California, on his grandparents’ 100-acre peach farm. Carl was of Swedish descent.

Azura’s maternal grandmother was actress Amanda Webb (born Adele Joan Cook; the daughter of Kalman Spelletich Cook and Claribel/Clarabelle/Clairbel F. Shepherd). Amanda was born in Florida. Kalman was the son of Reuel Bridge Cook and Eleanor Amelia Spelletich, whose own father, Michael Spelletich, was Hungarian. Claribel was the daughter of Charles Ernest Shepherd and Francis Jewell Myers.

    Her name is typical Italian, spelled “Azzurra”.

    Azzurro means “blue”, referred to eyes colour in particular (occhi azzurri -> blue eyes), or to the sky.

    “Azzurri” is also the nickname of various Italian national sport teams (football etc)
