The name Zill is a classic masculine title rooted in Arabic tradition. The name holds the profound meaning of 'Shadow', reflecting qualities that parents often wish to bestow upon their child.

Pronounced as Zill, it has a rhythmic flow that makes it memorable and distinct. It is an excellent choice for a modern Muslim family honoring tradition.

Zill comes from the Arabic root z-l-l, meaning “to shade.” It is translated as “shadow” or “shade,” echoing the Quran's description of Paradise's “extended shade” (56:30).
