Zunairah

Meaning of Zunairah

Zunairah is a feminine Arabic name, pronounced zoo-NAI-rah (/zuˈnaiɹa/), historically borne by a prominent Sahabiyyah—one of the earliest women to embrace Islam—whose life story embodies resilience and devotion. Drawn from roots that suggest a “small adornment,” the name conveys both elegance and grounded strength. In the United States, Zunairah has maintained a spot in the Social Security Administration’s top 1,000 girls’ names since 2006, reaching 930th place in 2024 with 20 newborns and peaking at 911th in 2019. Its flowing rhythm and cross-cultural appeal have also resonated within Latin American communities, where parents increasingly seek names that honor heritage while fitting modern naming trends.
