Guest, stranger, or life
Zena has multiple potential roots, most notably as a variation of the Greek Xenia, meaning 'hospitality' or 'guest.' It is also associated with the Russian diminutive of Zenoviya and can be linked to the Arabic word for 'beauty' or 'ornament.' In some contexts, it is viewed as a variant of the name Xena.
