Zahy

Zahy is a personal name that can function as both a given name and, less commonly, a surname. The form is found in Arabic-speaking communities and in diaspora populations where transliteration from Arabic and other languages leads to spelling variation. Zahy is often treated as a variant of the Arabic masculine name Zahi (زاهي), which is commonly associated with brightness or radiance. Because transliteration from Arabic scripts to Latin letters varies, Zahy can appear alongside spellings such as Zahi. The precise meaning may differ by culture and language.

The spelling Zahy is relatively uncommon in major name datasets and is more often encountered in private records within families connected to Arabic-speaking heritage. It may also arise in non-Arabic contexts through phonetic transliteration, producing occasional appearances in Western databases.

Notable people: There are no widely known individuals with the exact spelling Zahy who have major biographical entries. The name may be borne by private individuals or by those whose names are transliterations of other forms.

Related names include Zahi, a more common variant in Arabic-speaking communities.
