Where does the name Zara come from?
Behind the Name says the English Zara was used by William Congreve for a captive North African queen in his tragedy The Mourning Bride (1697), possibly based on the Arabic name Zahra. In 1736 Aaron Hill used Zara to translate Zaïre in his adaptation of Voltaire’s 1732 play. A separate Bulgarian Zara is a diminutive of Zaharina. Wikipedia adds that Zahra means “flower” or “radiant.”
Other forms of Zara
Behind the Name links Zara with Zahra, Zaira, Zaria and Zariah among related names, and the Bulgarian Zara with Zaharina and Zaharinka. Wikipedia mentions Zehra as the Balkan spelling of Zahra.
Well-known Zaras
Zara Tindall, born Zara Anne Elizabeth Phillips on May 15, 1981, in London, is a British equestrian, Olympian and member of the royal family, the daughter of Anne, Princess Royal. Wikipedia says she won the individual eventing world title at Aachen in 2006, was named BBC Sports Personality of the Year, and won team silver in eventing at the London 2012 Olympics, with the medal presented by her mother.
Zara’s popularity
Zara is a 21st-century name in America. It does not appear in any Social Security top-200 decade table up to the 2010s, but Behind the Name’s US chart shows it entering the top 1,000 in 2005 and reaching 201st in 2022 and 212th in 2025. It is more popular elsewhere: 47th in New South Wales and 73rd in England and Wales in 2025.
A few more things about Zara
Behind the Name says Princess Anne’s choice of Zara for her daughter in 1981 popularized the name in England. Wikipedia adds that the name was suggested by her uncle, Charles, then Prince of Wales. The Spanish clothing retailer may have boosted it too, according to both sources.

Zara’s Notebook works just as well for a teenager as for a grandmother. It’s 6" x 9", which fits in most bags, with 160 lined pages and no printed layout to work around. Use it as a diary, a school notebook, a planner or a place to collect quotes and ideas. A name on the cover turns an everyday notebook into something personal.
Why choose a personalized notebook?
A plain notebook is useful. One with her name on it is a gift. Seeing “Zara’s Notebook” on the cover tells Zara it was chosen for her, not grabbed off a shelf, and that small touch is often what makes people keep a notebook going instead of abandoning it after a week.
