Zauri is a rare and distinctive Hebrew name carrying profound meaning of light and spiritual radiance. The name combines two linguistic elements: 'Zohar' - meaning light, radiance, and brilliance, and the suffix 'i' - indicating possession or characteristic. The overall meaning is 'my radiance' or 'possessor of light', expressing the concept of inner light, spiritual illumination, and soul-brilliance. In Hebrew culture, light has always been a central symbol representing wisdom, holiness, life, and truth, making this name particularly spiritually significant.

The name developed during the Talmudic period as a personal expression of connection to spiritual light, used among scholars and poets who sought to emphasize the spiritual dimension of humanity. During the Middle Ages, the name was more common in Jewish communities in North Africa and the Middle East, especially among families engaged in Kabbalah study and Jewish mysticism. In modern times, the name Zauri is returning to Israeli consciousness as part of renewed interest in rare Hebrew names with spiritual significance.
