Kinza meaning
Kinza (کنزہ) is a Muslim girl's name of Arabic origin (Urdu usage).
Treasure; wealth laid up or buried for safe keeping
Also used to mean: hidden treasure
Kinza (کنزہ) is a girl's name built on the Arabic kanz, "treasure", from the root k-n-z. Lane's lexicon defines kanz as treasure or property buried in the earth for safe keeping, and the verb kanaza as storing something away in secret. The Quran uses the word in the story of Moses and Khidr (18:82), where a wall hides a treasure kept for two orphans. Kanza and Kinza are two spellings of the same name, and both are given on name lists as "treasure" or "hidden treasure". The name is used by Muslim families in India and Pakistan.
