Meaning of Zahra
Zahra means flower. It is mentioned only once in the Quran, within a popular Arabic idiom which literally means ‘flower of the world’. When Arabs say something is a flower of the world, it means it is one of the things that make life enjoyable and beautiful. For instance; health, wealth, and children can be described as flowers of the world. For this reason Zahra can also be considered to mean ‘splendor’ and ‘bounty’, since that is the meaning for which it is used in the Quran:
And do not extend your eyes toward that by which We have given enjoyment to [some] categories of them, [its being but] the splendor of worldly life by which We test them. And the provision of your Lord is better and more enduring {20:131}
And do not extend your eyes toward that by which We have given enjoyment to [some] categories of them, [its being but] the splendor of worldly life by which We test them. And the provision of your Lord is better and more enduring {20:131}Unlike other names we have mentioned, Zahra cannot be turned into a name for boys by removing the ‘ah’. Removing the ‘ah’ turns it into Zahr, which means ‘flowers’ (it is the plural for Zahra). The word Zahr keeps its feminine meaning since it is the plural of a feminine name (even though the ‘ah’ is removed), and for this reason cannot be used for boys.

This is wrong?
Zahra means brilliant, bright, shinning but zahrah means flower, splendor like it says above.
