Zohar (זוֹהַר) is the Hebrew word for "radiance" or "splendor." The Zohar is also the text of Kabbalistic Jewish mysticism (13th century).
Zohar is widely used in modern Israel as a unisex name.
Zohar does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.

In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Zohar reduce to 5, The Seeker. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
