Etymology & Historical Origin of the Baby Name Zain
There are three potential meanings for the masculine name Zain. For one, Zain and Zayn are transcriptions of the Arabic زين which means “grace, beauty”. Zayin, Zain and Zayn are all transcriptions for the seventh letter of the Hebrew alphabet (as well as other Semitic languages such as Aramaic and Phoenician). In fact, the Greeks took this letter from the Phoenicians for their own letter Zeta (Z). From this perspective Zayin or Zain means “seventh” in Hebrew. Lastly, Zain is merely an altered spelling of the surname Zane borne famously by author Zane Grey (1872-1939) whose works idealized the American Old West.

Popularity
OF THE BOY NAME ZAIN
Given the year that Zain first appeared on the American male naming charts (2001) then we’re guessing the name is either being used by Arab-Americans and/or parents who like the name Zane but prefer to alter the spelling (like Zayne). Either way Zain is an interesting choice. The Arabic meaning of “beauty” is lovely and the Hebrew connection to “seven” makes Zain a great name choice for a boy born on the seventh day of the month or the seventh month of the year (July). Or even the seventh Zodiac sign (Libra). And if you have a big family, Zain could be used for the seventh child in birth order. If you’re a fan of Zane Grey, though, and his books about the rugged Wild West, then you should probably stick with the Zane spelling.
