We haven't confirmed a dictionary meaning for the name itself. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.
Zunaira is the name of an early Muslim woman, Zinnira or Zunayra al-Rumiyya, one of the first converts in Mecca, who was persecuted for her faith and freed by Abu Bakr; tradition says she lost her sight and had it restored. The name is used by Indian and Pakistani families, but we could not find its meaning in the Arabic dictionaries, and scholars note that it is unclear. Name lists offer "flower", "belt" or "wise", none of which we could confirm.
