As -Salamu-Alaikum, brothers and sisters!

Choosing a meaningful name for a newborn is an important decision for parents, especially within the Muslim community, where names often carry profound significance. For those seeking Muslim baby boy names starting with Z, several options resonate with rich heritage and positive attributes. “Zayd,” for instance, holds prominence in Islamic history as the name of Zayd ibn Harithah (as), a beloved companion of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Its meaning, “abundance” or “growth,” reflects aspirations for a prosperous and flourishing life for the child. Similarly, “Zakariya,” derived from the Arabic root for “remembrance” or “to remember,” evokes qualities of mindfulness and spirituality, echoing the story of the revered Prophet Zakariya (as).
