Unisex names with Z

A unisex name is special because it can signify both a boys’ name and a girls’ name.

Of all common unisex names in the U.S., only about 1.9% begin with the letter Z.... On the other hand, 2.4% of common boys' names begin with the letter Z, such as Zachary or Zane, but among girls' names, there are Zoey or Zara, for instance, the figure is also only 1.9%. This means that the initial letter Z is less common in unisex and girls' names than boys' names.

Nevertheless, even among the unisex names with Z, there are some that are given particularly often and some that are encountered rather rarely. One of the most common unisex names with a Z in recent years was Zamari. However, children were given the name Zahari somewhat less frequently and a child with the name Zyn is something quite remarkable in the USA.

We classify names as unisex that are not just officially suitable for both boys and girls, but which have actually been used many times in the English-speaking world for both boys and girls in recent years. Some of the unisex names may have more female or male connotations for individuals, but this is often subjective and goes back to the fact that in your own circle of acquaintances, you might have a boy or man, or a girl or a woman, who has this name.
