Zlata (which comes from the word for "gold" in various Slavic languages) was used as a Jewish name, and so was the Yiddish Golda/Golde.

AFAIK Zahava/Zehava is used in Israel, sometimes as the equivalent of these (ie Zahava after grandma Golde) I don't think it was a name before, but I'm not sure.

Sincerely,

Rosomaqa
