Kids who have names that start with a Z get teased and bullied relentlessly by their classmates. Never give your child a name that starts with this letter. They will hate it and they will hate you for giving it to them. They might even change their name like I did.

What a stupid comment. There are so many "Z" names from almost every culture, and many kids are named Zach, Zayden, Zahra, and more. Z is just a letter, there are no bad connotations besides being the last letter of the English alphabet. I assure you, the person below is the only person who changed their name just because they hated the letter Z that much.
Anyways, Zahra is a beautiful name with a great meaning. English speakers may be more familiar with the name Zara, but that should not stop you from choosing this name.

A long time ago, Zahra was also used as an independent masculine given first name - but is now rare and out of fashion as an independent masculine given first name. A known male bearer of this name was Zuhrah ibn Kilab, the great-great-granduncle of Muhammad. Zahra is also used as an element in the compound masculine given first name Abdul-Zahra.

This is the name of lady ladies of the world. He is like the holy Mary. He is the daughter of the Prophet Muhammad, the Prophet of Islam, whose religion and companionship are complete with him. He is the most sacred lady and the prince of all the women of the world. He is light. He makes happiness. Good source. She is the real queen. Many of the world do not know this. This is unfortunate. He is the most innocent of men from the beginning to the end of creation. She is mother. People go to him for a better life and for solving their own problems. Real miracle. He and his holy family in every way you think are the best of creatures. They love love. The world can not understand all of them. The wisdom must grow. But they are so magnanimous and generous.

As a person with the name Zahra, I have noticed that it is mispronounced a lot. I get called "Zahara," "Sarah," and of course the English pronunciation "Zair-uh." Keep in mind, that it may be hard for others to understand the pronunciation in certain areas, such as ones that aren't as culturally diverse in the US. It may be different for other places, but as I live in a very diverse place in the US, it still gets mispronounced. Keep it in mind.
