Full Meaning of Zowhra

Zowhra is an indirect Quranic name for girls that means radiant white color. Zowhra is also the Arabic word for the planet Venus. It is derived from the Z-H-R root which is used once in the Quran in the phrase zahratul hayat:

And never turn thine, eyes [with longing] towards whatever splendor of this world’s life We may have allowed so many others to enjoy in order that We might test them thereby: for the sustenance which thy Lord provides [for thee] is better and more enduring. (Quran 20:131)
