ZAH-leeListen

Zahli is a girl's name with roots that are genuinely uncertain — researchers trace it to either an Arabic place name or a more modern coinage, so there's no settled origin story to point to. You may see it described as meaning 'blossom' or 'flower,' but that claim doesn't hold up: there's no Hebrew root behind it, and the idea likely comes from Zahli sounding like Zahra or Zahava, names that do carry flower and gold meanings. It has a free-spirited, boho, clean, modern feel, and it's pronounced ZAH-lee.
