Zane
The name Zane may be a given name or a surname. Its western usage derives from the Venetian form of Gianni or an alternate spelling of the German and Jewish name Zahn. An Arabic name Zain, Zayn, or as it is often anglicized Zane, is an Arabic personal name meaning "beauty, grace".  It was popularized as a given name in the early 20th century through the American writer Zane Grey. Zayne is an alternative spelling.
