Girl name · 7 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Zaara is most often a variant of the Arabic name Zahra, meaning "blooming flower" or "radiant," or of Sarah, the Hebrew name for "princess." In Scotland, it has gained quiet popularity since the 1990s, chosen for its melodic, gentle sound. Notable bearers include Zaara Asif, an English actress known for television roles, and Zaara Khan, a South African singer. The name shares its root with Zahra, a city in Iran, but has no direct Scottish place connections. A related variant is Zara, which also carries the same floral heritage and is more common in Scotland.
