Choosing Zuhur
Zuhur is a name with a good meaning, which is what the Sunnah asks for. The Prophet ﷺ said: "The most beloved of your names to Allah are Abdullah and Abdur-Rahman",3 and after these, any name with a good meaning is a sound choice. With the father's name it becomes Zuhur bint (and the father's name): see what bin, bint and abu mean.
