Meaning & origin
Zareena entered U.S. naming records in 1993 and has remained an uncommon choice, ranking 10,107 in 2025 (roughly 1 in every 178,585 girls). Its highest popularity came in 2014, when it reached its peak year. The name's trajectory has been stable, avoiding dramatic rises or falls. While top states are not recorded, its use likely concentrates in communities with Arabic or South Asian heritage. Zareena's appeal lies in its melodic sound and possible golden connotation, making it a distinctive alternative to more common names like Aaliyah or Yasmin.
Zareena is a name of debated origin, most often connected to Arabic 'zarīnah', meaning 'golden', though some link it to Persian 'zar' (gold) as a variant of Zarina. It gained modest use in English-speaking countries from the late 20th century, particularly among Muslim families.
