Zadig
French, from Hebrew and Arabic, "righteous, sincere" | Armenian, "Easter"
Do you like Ziggy but want a longer form that isn’t Zigfried, Zachary, or Zigmund? Do you like names with literary history and connections to fashion? Do you want a multicultural name which has its roots in French, Armenian, Hebrew and Arabic?
Zadig may well be one to ponder!
Quirky, stylish, and succinct, the name appeared in the Voltaire’s 18th-century philosophical novel, Zadig, or The Book of Fate, and went on to provide the inspiration behind the fashion brand name Zadig&Voltaire. As such, it’s gained some attention in France, as a fresh yet historical choice.
Sharing roots with the Arabic and Hebrew names Sadiq and Zadok, it links to righteousness and sincerity, but in Armenian, it stems from the word for Easter, making it a multi-layered option.
