What is the meaning of the name Zarina ?

The baby name Zarina is a girl name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced zuh-REE-nuh.

Zarina is Persian in Origin.

Zarina is a feminine name of Persian origin, based on Persian zarrīn, written زرین, with the sense golden. The adjective is formed from zar, gold, plus the relational suffix -īn, which creates material or quality adjectives in Persian. The final -a reflects its use as a personal name in Russian, Central Asian, South Asian, and Malay-speaking settings rather than a separate Persian word; the literal sense is simply golden.

Classical writers mention a Saka or Scythian queen as Zarinaea, a Greek form often linked with this Iranian name element, though the identification is not certain. In modern usage, Zarina appears among Persianate Muslim communities, in Urdu and Malay, and across Kazakhstan and neighboring Turkic-speaking regions; Russian spelling is Зарина. Related forms include Zareen and Zarin. Its resemblance to tsarina/czarina, the Russian title for an empress, is phonetic rather than etymological.
