Zoheb

Boy name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Zoheb: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 1989.

Zoheb is an Arabic name meaning "little butter" or "little oil," derived from *zuhb*, which refers to clarified butter or ghee—a term of endearment in some cultures. The best-known bearer is Zoheb Hassan, the Pakistani pop singer who found fame in the 1980s as part of the duo Nazia and Zoheb. While no specific places share the name’s root, the name is also found in Somali and South Asian communities. Its softer sound and uncommon nature in Scotland make it a distinctive choice, and it is sometimes spelled Zuheb or Zuhayb.
