Zelani is of African origin, specifically from Swahili-speaking regions. It's composed of two elements: 'zel' meaning 'moon', and '-ani' which means 'in peace'. Therefore, Zelani translates to 'in peace like the moon', suggesting a calm and serene nature associated with the night sky.
"Zelani is quite rare, with only five newborns bearing this unique name in 2023."
