Zahra is a beautiful Arabic feminine name. It means flower, blossoming, shining, or brilliant, often associated with beauty, light, and radiance. It is a highly popular name, especially within Shia Muslim communities, as it is a common epithet for Fatima, the revered daughter of Prophet Muhammad. The name is widely used across the Middle East, North Africa, South Asia, and among Muslim communities globally, particularly prominent in Iran, Pakistan, and parts of the Levant. Notable people include Zahra Lari, an Emirati figure skater, and Zahra Rahnavard, an Iranian artist and politician.
