Zorian

Meaning of Zorian

Zorian is a male given name of South Slavic origin, derived from the word zora, meaning “dawn.” It evokes themes of fresh starts and quiet optimism, appealing to parents seeking a name with depth. Pronounced ZOR-ee-an (ˈzɔriən) in both British and American English, its two-syllable structure ensures clarity and ease of use. While it remains relatively rare—in 2024 it ranked 916th in the United States with just eight newborn boys bearing the name—Zorian has maintained a steady presence since the early 2000s. Neither ostentatious nor overused, it occupies a subtle niche that balances cultural heritage with contemporary sensibility, making it a thoughtful choice for modern families.
