Meaning & origin
Zyrah is a modern American invention, first appearing on the U.S. Social Security rolls in 2002. It follows a pattern of Z-initial names that gained traction in the early 2000s, with its shape resembling Zara and Zariah but with a distinct spelling. The name is quite rare: in 2025, it ranked at 6,116, with only about 1 in 84,593 newborn girls receiving it. Its popularity peaked in 2019, before gradually declining and then rising again since 2004. Nearly all of Zyrah's usage concentrates in Texas, the only top state recorded. The name's appeal likely lies in its modern, stylish sound and uniqueness, fitting broader trends of invented names with the -ah suffix.
