ziaire is in Origin.

Ziaire (pronounced zee-AIR or zy-AIR) is a modern American given name whose shape and sound likely draw on the place-name Zaire, the former name of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Zaire itself comes from Kikongo Nzadi (Nzere), “the river that swallows all rivers,” referring to the Congo River, so Ziaire is often interpreted with watery, expansive imagery such as “great river” or “flowing.” The name also echoes the consonants and vowels of Arabic names like Ziyad (“abundance, growth”), which may add to its appeal, though Ziaire is not a traditional Arabic form.

Used primarily in the United States since the late 20th century, Ziaire belongs to the contemporary wave of inventive Z- names favored in African American communities and beyond. The name is unisex but skews masculine. Common variants and near-variants include Zyair, Zyaire, Ziare, Zayir, Zaire, and the stylized Zy’Air; feminine extensions such as Zyaira also occur.
