Zorra

The name Zorra is directly derived from the Spanish word 'zorra', which means 'fox'. In Spanish culture, the fox is often associated with cunning, cleverness, and sometimes slyness. While the word itself is common, its use as a given name is quite rare. It can carry connotations of resourcefulness and intelligence, but also, in some contexts, negative implications of trickery or even a derogatory term for a woman.

Historically, names directly derived from animal terms are found across many cultures, often to imbue the child with perceived qualities of that animal. However, 'Zorra' as a given name has not seen widespread adoption, likely due to the dual nature of the word's meaning in Spanish, where it can also be used as a pejorative term. Its rarity as a name means it lacks a long, established history of usage in traditional naming conventions.
