About Zal
Zal is listed in the CC0 Muslim Names Dataset as a male name. The source records its meaning as “Zal is a Persian name for boys that means white-haired, it is the name of the father of Rustam, the mythical Persian hero.”. Its origin label is stated directly in the source text. Its reader-friendly phonetic spelling is generated deterministically from the published transliteration and should be reviewed for names with complex or region-specific pronunciation.
Meaning and Arabic spelling are sourced from the Muslim Names Dataset or, where provided, the record-specific provenance URL. Origin labels are source-stated where available or transparently inferred from the published script or etymological signal. Phonetic respellings are generated reading guides, not native-speaker recordings. See Sources & methodology for data limitations.
