About the name Zane
Zane owes its currency almost entirely to a single novelist whose westerns sold in the tens of millions, since the name barely existed before him. It functions now as a sleeker cousin to John by way of a very indirect route, and the Zayn spelling has picked up its own separate following.
Zane is a boy name of Hebrew origin, pronounced ZAYN. On the NameRarity scale it scores 54 out of 100, which places it in the uncommon band — familiar to everyone, yet rarely duplicated in the same room. Its strongest period was the 2000s.
