Zohra
Girl name · 6 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Zohra: 6 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 1985.
From Arabic origins, Zohra means "blooming" or "radiant," a close variant of Zahra, the name of the Prophet Muhammad’s daughter Fatima al-Zahra. In Persian, it also evokes the planet Venus, reinforcing its luminous feel. Two notable bearers brought the name into the public eye: Zohra Sehgal, the beloved Indian actress whose career spanned eight decades, and Zohra Lampert, an American actress known for her work in film and television. While no major place connections arise, the name shares its root with the flowering zahra and appears across Muslim communities worldwide. In Scotland, Zohra remains a rare but meaningful choice, offering a soft, melodic sound with deep cultural resonance.
