Girl name · 11 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Zunaira: 11 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 5 births in 2017.

Zunaira is an Arabic name, a variant of Zunairah, meaning “small flower” or “blossom,” evoking delicacy and beauty. While no prominent historical or famous bearers stand out, the name has gained quiet popularity across South Asia and the Middle East in recent decades, often chosen for its lyrical sound and floral imagery. It carries no significant place connections, but its root shares affinity with the more widespread Zainab. A further note: Zunaira is sometimes spelled Zunairah, and in Urdu poetry the name occasionally appears as a symbol of fleeting grace, making it a gentle yet distinctive choice for parents seeking an uncommon name with a soft, natural meaning.
