Zureidy is a feminine name in Spanish, possibly inspired by Zoraida. Elusive but most likely Arabic in origin, Zureidy inherits several potential meanings for baby to explore. Zoraida may have been invented in the 1600s by Cervantes for a character in his novel Don Quixote. Its descendant Zureidy may inherit the meanings “enchanting” or “dawn,” for the little sunbeam coming to make the world a warmer, brighter place. Also meaning “well-spoken” and “eloquent,” Zureidy suits the chatty tot whose coos and babbles compel all who hear.
