Zoulaïha

Zoulaïha is a name of Arabic origin, a variant of Zuleikha or Zulaikha. It is famously associated with the wife of Potiphar in the Quranic and Islamic tradition, who attempted to seduce the prophet Yusuf (Joseph). This story is a significant narrative in Islamic literature and art, often exploring themes of temptation, chastity, and divine intervention. The name's association with this powerful and complex character has given it a rich cultural resonance.

While the story of Yusuf and Zulaikha is ancient, the name Zoulaïha continues to be used in various Muslim-majority regions, particularly in North Africa and the Middle East. Its pronunciation and spelling can vary slightly depending on the specific dialect and transliteration practices. The name carries a sense of classical beauty and a connection to a foundational religious narrative.
