Meaning and origin of Zafira
Zafira is the feminine of Ẓāfir, meaning the victorious one, and it shares the root ẓ-f-r with the boy's name Zafar. Giving the name is a way of wishing a daughter success in whatever she sets out to do. Because Urdu and Persian speakers pronounce the heavy ẓ as z, it is written Zafira in South Asia, while in Gulf Arabic it often sounds nearer to Dhafira.
