Zaha, Zahaa

Pronounced zuh-HEAH, (the latter syllable rhymes with “yeah”), the name is Arabic ضَحَاء and means “morning.” A notable bearer was British Architect, Zaha Hadid (1950-2016). It is also sometimes transliterated as Dhahaa.

Alternately, pronounced ZAH-kha, it is from the Hebrew tzach צַח (fresh, pure, clean). Another transcription is Tzacha.
