Meaning & origin
Zoravar is a rare but steadily rising name in the United States, first recorded in 2009. It reached its peak rank of 5608 in 2025, with an estimated 1 in 106,755 newborns given the name that year. The name's trajectory has been consistently rising since 2013, reflecting growing interest in distinct Indian and Punjabi names among American parents. Despite not appearing in any top state lists, Zoravar's appeal likely stems from its strong, masculine meaning and its phonetic similarity to more familiar names like 'Zorawar' or 'Zoro'. It remains an uncommon choice, making it stand out while still being easy to pronounce in English.
Zoravar is likely a modern variant of the Punjabi name Zorawar, which itself may derive from Sanskrit 'zora' (meaning 'strength' or 'force') combined with 'var' (meaning 'possessor'). The name has roots in Sikh traditions and is borne by several historical figures, though its use in the United States is recent.
