About Zeal
Bright, modern, and energetic, Zeal is a zippy word name that might have seemed totally out there a few years back, before Rowdy, Chosen, Halo, and Legend were in the charts, and before YouTubers Savannah and Cole Labrant chose Zealand for their son, making the sound familiar. Associated with enthusiasm, passion, and excitement, Zeal was given to 25 boys (and 6 girls) in a recent year.
Zeal for girls
An enthusiastic, upbeat choice that makes an unusual but positive word name. It might have seemed liked an odd choice a few years back, before Halo, True, Chosen, and Sunny made the rankings, but with the rising interest in wild word names and the popularity of Zaylee, it might not seem quite so out there any more. Six girls and 25 boys were given the name in a recent year.
Pronounced ZEEL.
As of October 2026, Zeal ranked #3752 in US births in 2025 SSA.
