An uncommon Arabic pick — distinctive and rare.
Zyan is a boy's and girl's baby name of Arabic origin, a variant of Zayan, from Arabic zayn, meaning 'beautiful, graceful, adorned' — from the Arabic root for beauty and adornment.
The Z-Y opening gives Zyan a particularly distinctive visual identity — crisp, clean, and modern-looking on paper. It shares the same beautiful Arabic meaning as Zayn (as in musician Zayn Malik, formerly of One Direction), whose global fame brought Z-names with this root to enormous attention.
Zyan climbed 2884 spots in the last 20 years — from #4128 to #1244.
