Question
Hello, my daughter's name is Rezaiah, pronounce as (Rez zay ya). Can you tell me what is the meanin of that name in Arabic?
Thanks!  

Answer
Hello Latoya,
Your daughter’s name Rezaiah is from the Arabic root word Reza, which means satisfaction. From Reza come many names in Arabic, such as Reza, Rezwan, for males and Razyah, Marzya for females. However in Arabic the “za” is pronounced “dha”.
