Zeinab is a first name for girls.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Zeinab is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 2 out of 100,000 girls have been named Zeinab. In the SmartGenius ranking, Zeinab is #4,376 on the list of most common girls names. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Zeinab.
In fact, the name Zeinab hardly fits the trend of first names for girls. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Zeinab wasn't given at all (or at least less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), but by 1999, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 2,370, 55 parents chose it in 1999 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Zeinab, you were already special when you were born - and you did your best to become a trendsetter.

The name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it didn't appear at all for a many years. As Zeinab seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.
