History & Origin

Zirwa comes from an Arabic root meaning 'peak; summit; highest point,' and is used as a girl's name in Urdu-speaking communities in Pakistan, India and the diaspora. It is a name of aspiration rather than of story — plain in shape, high in sense (said 'ZEER-wuh').

It appears only rarely in the U.S. Rare, heritage-rooted, and aspirational.

Did you know? Zirwa carries the idea of the summit — the highest point reached — which makes it one of the most quietly ambitious names in the Urdu naming tradition (said 'ZEER-wuh').
