Boy name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Zaryan: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 2023.
Zaryan is a name of modern invention, likely formed from the Persian root "zar," meaning gold, giving it a meaning of "golden one" or "shining." It has become increasingly popular in Scotland as a stylish, melodic choice for boys, reflecting a broader trend for unique, globally inspired names. Outside of Scottish records, a notable bearer is Zaryan Khan, an Indian film actor known for his work in Bollywood, which has helped raise the name's profile internationally. The name shares its golden root with the city of Zaria in Nigeria, though that connection is coincidental rather than direct. A close variant is Zarian, and the name’s warmth and rarity make it a distinctive alternative to more common names.
