Zayana
Meaning of Zayana
Zayana, pronounced zay-AH-nah (/zeɪˈana/), emerges from the Arabic root zayn, meaning “beauty” or “grace,” and in Persian contexts carries a gentle lyricism reminiscent of traditional poetry. Since its debut in US birth registers around 2001, it has maintained a steady, if modest, presence—fifteen newborns received the name in 2024, keeping Zayana just inside the top 1 000. Its three-syllable cadence balances strength with softness, evoking the contrast of desert horizons and silk threads, while its novelty spares parents the consolation prize of alphabetic anonymity. Analytical yet poetic, Zayana bridges cultural depth and modern freshness without veering into ostentation, offering a quietly intriguing choice for those who value heritage wrapped in simplicity.
