Weapon or sword
Zayin is the seventh letter of the Hebrew alphabet. In Jewish mysticism, it represents a crowned weapon or a scepter, symbolizing both protection and spiritual struggle. It is rarely used as a given name in the United States, often chosen for its symbolic depth or as a unique alternative to names like Zane or Zion.
