Reza Origin and Meaning

The name Reza is a girl's name of Czech origin.

Reza is a feminine name (though also used for males in some cultures) with Persian origins, meaning 'contentment,' 'satisfaction,' or 'agreement.' In Iran and other parts of the Middle East, it's a popular name with royal associations, as it was part of the name of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. The name has a beautiful spiritual significance in Islamic contexts, where it can represent divine pleasure or approval. As a female name in Western countries, Reza offers a distinctive alternative to more common names while maintaining an exotic yet accessible sound. Its cross-cultural appeal and positive meaning have contributed to its gradual adoption beyond Persian communities, though it remains relatively uncommon in English-speaking countries.
