Raza
Boy name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Raza: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 1992.
Raza carries a strong sense of heritage, rooted in Arabic as a variant of Razzaq, meaning "provider" or "sustainer," and is often linked to divine attributes in Islamic tradition. It also shares ground with the Persian name Reza, meaning "contentment" or "satisfaction." Notable bearers include Raza Jaffrey, the British actor known for roles in *Smash* and *Casualty*, and Raza Murad, a veteran Indian film actor. The name echoes in places like Raza Square in Srinagar, India, though no major global landmarks share its exact form. A notable variant is the more common Reza, borne by the last Shah of Iran, while Raza itself remains a distinctive choice that bridges South Asian and Middle Eastern cultures.
