Zyad

Where Zyad comes from

Zyad hasn't made it into the dictionaries we draw on yet — so for now its story is the one the SSA record tells. Names that spell a familiar sound a new way often live here for a while before anyone writes them down.

    Peak, #6,522
    10 babies named Zyad — more than any year before or since.
