About the Name Zara
Zara has held its ground, ranked #73 in 2025 and never far from its best of #66 in 2019 — a name with lasting rather than trend-driven appeal. The name has been a consistent presence in UK records since 1996. It has spent 24 of the last 30 years inside the UK top 100 — a mark of enduring mainstream appeal.
Zara is a very popular name in the UK — yet a class of 28 is small enough that your child will very likely be the only Zara on the register.
In the US it sits at #234 — notably more popular in the UK than across the Atlantic.
