Zuleima

Meaning of Zuleima

Zuleima is a name that carries a gentle hush of peace wherever it goes. Rooted in Arabic from the word meaning “peaceful” or “safe,” it drifted across the Mediterranean into Spanish and Italian, where it’s elegantly pronounced zoo-LAY-mah. Though still a rare gem in the U.S.—with just a handful of newborns each year and ranking in the 900s—it shines like the soft light of dawn over calm waters. It feels a bit like a hidden bookmark in your favorite novel—unexpectedly delightful and uniquely yours. This lyrical name whispers of tranquil strength and poetic beauty. It’s an inspiring choice for parents seeking a warm, one-of-a-kind name with roots as rich as its meaning.
