Zarin

Meaning of Zarin

Zarin, a unisex appellation of Persian provenance denoting “golden” or “golden one,” possesses an etymological heritage in the Old Persian word zar (“gold”) and retains a clear semantic link to notions of luminosity and value. Pronounced ZAH-rin (/zɑːrɪn/) in English, it conforms to Anglo-American phonological patterns while preserving its original cultural resonance. Empirical data from the U.S. Social Security Administration indicate that Zarin has appeared consistently within the top 1,000 given names since the late 1990s, its annual frequency oscillating modestly between five and ten recorded instances and yielding ranking positions that vary from approximately 860th to 980th. This measured persistence—evident in intermittent peaks such as the 860th rank in 1997 and more subdued placements around 980th in 2008—underscores Zarin’s status as a rare but enduring choice for parents seeking a name that balances cross-gender appeal with a distinctive, culturally rich origin.
