The name "Azmi"-- Please help!

Hello all, I’m new to this forum, so please excuse me if this is posted in the wrong section. I was just wondering if anyone had any information on the surname “Azmi”. What are its origins/roots and is this surname associated with any sects or groupings? Furthermore, is it a commonly used surname in Pakistan? Lastly, are there any differences in “Azmi” and “Azami” in terms of pronounciation in urdu and urdu writing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

"Azm" means 'resolve'. "Aazam" means 'great'. Don't think these are common names. The only Aazami I know is the Indian actress Shabana Azmi/Aazmi/Aazami ( however it is spelled in individual cases ).
