Meaning & Story

An Arabic name possibly linked to 'zaha' meaning 'brightness' or 'to bloom' — evoking the brilliance and blossoming of something extraordinary.

Zaha carries the luminous legacy of one of architecture's greatest visionaries: Dame Zaha Hadid, the Iraqi-British architect whose sweeping, rule-defying buildings transformed skylines around the world. The name means brightness or blossoming in Arabic, and no one embodied that meaning more completely than Hadid herself. A pet named Zaha is probably remarkable — the one who does things differently, who bends the expected lines, whose presence is simply striking.
