## Etymology

Uncertain. Likely a transliteration of Urdu زُہْران (zuhrān), or possibly ظُہْرَان (zuhrān)—both of Arabic origin, but most likely from Arabic زهران (“bright”) and Arabic أَزْهَر (ʔazhar, “radiant”). The Urdu variant زوہْرَان (zohrān) is considered a corruption.

## How to read these numbers

A count is babies registered with that name in that year, not people alive now, so a name common a century ago can have a large total and few recent births.
