Gracious; flower
Zanaiyah is a modern American invention, likely created as a creative elaboration of Zaniyah or a blend of the Hebrew name Zana and the Arabic-influenced suffix -iyah. It is often associated with the meaning 'God is gracious' through its phonetic connection to Jane or John, or 'flower' via the Arabic root 'zahr'.
