Zoraiz is of Persian and Urdu origin, derived from "zōr" meaning strength or power, and "āz" meaning desire or ambition—together giving a sense of "brave lion" or "one with fierce determination." A name often chosen in South Asian communities, it has been borne by Pakistani cricketer Zoraiz Khan, who represents the sport's growing global reach, and by actor Zoraiz Ali, known in television dramas. While no direct place connections exist, the root "zōr" appears in Persian place names such as Zorabad, meaning "strong place." A notable variant is Zoraz, less common but sharing the same lionhearted essence. In recent decades, Zoraiz has gained quiet popularity among Scottish families embracing multicultural heritage, offering a distinctive, powerful choice that resonates across continents.
