Zirwa

Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Zirwa: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2021.

Zirwa is a name of Arabic origin, meaning "splendour," "brilliance," or "beauty," often given to girls in Muslim communities as a poetic expression of radiance. Not widely used in Scotland until recent years, it reflects the nation's growing cultural diversity. No famous historical bearers appear in Western records, though the name carries quiet prestige within South Asian and Middle Eastern traditions. You might find a street or school named after a prominent local figure called Zirwa in some communities, but such connections remain informal. A closer variant is Zirwah, which shares the same luminous meaning. This name offers a melodic, modern choice for parents seeking something distinctive yet rooted in a rich linguistic heritage.
