The meaning of this name is unknown since it is not from Arabic origins. The name can also be derived from Arabic, being the feminine form of Zunair, which means “belt”, “strap”. The name can also be an Arabic diminutive form of the Persian girl name Zaneerah which means “intelligent”, “wise”. All of these derivations are acceptable as Muslim names.
