Meaning & origin
Zerenity is a modern respelling of Serenity that first appeared on U.S. birth certificates in 2004. The name peaked in 2018 and has been falling in popularity since 2019. In 2025, it saw a rank of 10,107, with roughly 1 in 178,585 girls given the name. While the name has never been common, its trajectory shows a clear preference for the original spelling Serenity, which remains far more popular.

The name has not achieved enough usage to be recorded in any top state lists, remaining a rare choice nationwide.
Zerenity is a contemporary respelling of the English word name Serenity, derived from the Latin serenitas meaning 'clear, calm.'
