Alternate Spellings

Zariya is a feminine title rich in history, originating from Arabic roots. The name holds the profound meaning of 'Beauty', reflecting qualities that parents often wish to bestow upon their child.

In Arabic culture, names are more than labels; they are prayers. Zariya is widely respected for its positive connotations. It is an excellent choice for a modern Muslim family honoring tradition.

Zariya comes from the Arabic root dh-r-w, the root behind Surah Adh-Dhariyat (51), "the scattering winds."
