Around the globe, Zakiriya (Закирия 
, Zakiriya 
) is a rare masculine first name. The forename Zakiriya is characteristic of Central Asia, particularly Tajikistan, where it is quite a rare boy's name, Kyrgyzstan, where it is a rare boy's name, and Kazakhstan, where it is a rare principally male, but very infrequently feminine name. In absolute terms, the name is most common in Tajikistan, India, and Nigeria. Very seldom, Zakiriya is the last name as well as the forename.
