Is there any connection between the names Zain / Zayn and Zane?

#Zane #Zayn

Nope

Not unless someone uses Zane as a form of Zayn / Zain or visa versa. Or someone wanted to "Anglicise" Zayn / Zain and so spelled it Zane.

Zayn / Zain's Arabic and Zane's English/Danish. Though BtN doesn't say so, I've read that Zane may possibly be a form of John.

Yes I've heard from several places that Zane is a form of John. I even know a boy named Zane specifically because his fathers name is John (brothers are Sean, Ian, Jeannot and Yannis)

I just thought that it was interesting that the two are so similar and yet aren't connected. So I thought I would see if anyone knew about an older connection between the two.

Thanks for the help though!
