Zalea

Meaning of Zalea

Pronounced zuh-LEE-uh, Zalea is a fresh Latinate twist on the flower Azalea, blending grace with a secret spark of enthusiasm in its echo of “zeal.” Though it’s hovered just outside the US top 900—seven little Zaleas in 2024 claimed it at rank 943—it feels like a hidden gem. Its zesty “Z” kickstarts every introduction, while its soft “-ea” ending flows like a warm breeze under the Spanish sun. Parents craving nature’s beauty, Latin warmth, and playful energy find in Zalea an inspiring choice. It’s a name ready to dance boldly into life, painting days with courage and color.
