Meaning & Origin
Zahraa is a girl's baby name of Arabic origin, a variant of Zahra, meaning 'radiant, luminous, shining' or 'flower, blossom' — from the Arabic root zahara (to shine, to flower). Al-Zahra was the title of Fatimah, the beloved daughter of the Prophet Muhammad, meaning 'the radiant one,' making this name deeply revered in Islam.
Zahraa combines floral beauty with divine radiance — a name that evokes both the physical luminosity of a blossom and the spiritual light of faith. With over 1,050 recorded U.S. births, it has found consistent appreciation among Muslim families for whom this title of Fatimah carries the highest reverence. The doubled -aa reflects the Arabic long vowel, marking the name's authentic Islamic heritage.
