In the dictionaries
We haven't confirmed a dictionary meaning for the name itself. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.
Zankhana (ઝંખના) is a Gujarati girls' name. In Gujarati the word jhankhanā means longing or deep yearning, and name lists explain the name as "desire" or "longing". Gujarati names written in English may use Z for the jh sound, as in Zalak and Zeel. We could not find the word in a public-domain dictionary that we can cite, so we have not given a sourced meaning; the Hindi word that looks closest in Platts' dictionary means something quite different. The name is used almost only in Gujarat.
