What is the meaning of the name zarra ?

The baby name zarra is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈzɑːrə/ or /ˈzærə/ (ZAH-ruh or ZAR-uh).

zarra is Arabic, Hebrew, Slavic in Origin.

Zarra is a modern feminine given name, most often treated as a variant of Zara. Zara traces to Arabic Zahra “blooming, radiant,” and, in some traditions, to Hebrew Zarah/Zerah “dawn, to shine.” The double‑r spelling is a contemporary elaboration for distinction. In Spanish–Basque contexts, Zarra also appears as a surname from Basque zaharra “old, venerable,” which has occasionally fed into given‑name use.

As a first name, Zarra surfaces sporadically from the late 20th century onward, rising with the stylish success of Zara; it remains uncommon. Related forms include Zara, Zarah, Zahra, Zahrah, Zahara, and Zaira; distant cognates are Sara/Sarah, while Zarrah is a close spelling variant. Nicknames Zari or Zaza are typical. Depending on lineage, meanings span “flower,” “radiant,” and “dawn,” with a Basque‑surname layer of “venerable” for families using it from that source.
