Zeniyah

Zeniyah is a modern feminine name that has emerged in recent decades, particularly in American naming trends. It appears to be a creative variation built on the prefix 'Zen-', which evokes associations with tranquility and enlightenment from Zen Buddhism, combined with the popular feminine ending '-iyah.' This construction places it alongside contemporary names like Aaliyah, Saniyah, and Janiyah.

The name has a musical quality with its rhythmic three syllables and flowing sound. While still relatively uncommon. Parents may choose this name for its distinctive character, modern feel, and positive spiritual associations.

Pronounced ZEN-ee-uh.

As of October 2026, Zeniyah ranked #5405 for girls in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #3378 for girls in 2024.
