Question: Someone has named their son “Zaroon.” What does it mean and what language is it from?
Answer: Nowadays, many people want to give their children unique and unusual names, so they search the internet for names that no one in their area or neighborhood has. However, we should choose names based on the traditions of our predecessors and look to the books of Seerah for guidance. “Zaroon” is one of those made-up internet names. It is neither found in the Urdu dictionary nor the Arabic dictionary. Some websites have falsely claimed that “Zaroon” means “visitor,” but there is no such word in Arabic. The Arabic word “Zā’irūn” does exist, which is a plural form and means “those who visit.”
