About the name Zara
Zara is often explained as coming from the Arabic zahra, meaning flower or radiance, and in some languages it is used as a form of Sarah, the Hebrew name meaning princess. In English literature, Zara is the captive queen in William Congreve’s tragedy The Mourning Bride, the play containing the line about hell having no fury like a woman scorned. The name became familiar in Britain through Zara Tindall, an equestrian who won an Olympic silver medal and is a granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth the Second. Zahra and Zarah are related spellings.
