Ziba is an uncommon and unique feminine given name of Persian origin. It means 'beauty' in Farsi, the official language of Iran. The name gained some recognition internationally due to its use by Ziba Mir-Hosseini, a prominent Iranian filmmaker who won awards at film festivals like Berlin and Sundance for her documentaries on women's rights and social issues in her home country.
Ziba was quite popular in 1916 with five babies named so that year.
