Zuhayrs

Zuhayrs is a plural reference to people who bear the Arabic masculine given name Zuhayr, which is also transliterated as Zuheir or Zuhair. The name is of Arabic origin and is widely used across the Arab world and in Muslim communities, appearing in historical texts as well as in contemporary contexts. Because Arabic names are often rendered in multiple Latin-script spellings, you may encounter various transliterations of the same name in English-language sources.

Notable individuals named Zuhayr include Zuhair ibn Abi Sulma, a 6th-century pre-Islamic Arab poet who is associated with the Mu’allaqat, a collection of early Arabic odes that hold a central place in classical Arabic literature. In later periods, people named Zuhayr have appeared in diverse fields such as politics, academia, sports, and business, reflecting the name’s broad regional usage and cultural presence.

The name’s popularity is tied to traditional naming patterns in Arab cultures, where Zuhayr is used across generations and regions. Transliteration standards vary, so you may see several spellings in different sources, but they typically refer to the same given-name tradition rather than distinct names or families.
