The question text was not published separately; the title stands in for it.
I was told that the name Zaki has multiple meanings depending on it being spelt with the Arabic letters “zay” or “czaal”, please advise for all cases.
Answer
The word may be pronounced with a 'zaal and 'dhaal'. The meanings of both the letters are different.
Dhaal (Dhakiyy) means to be intelligent
Zaal (Zaki) to be righteous and clean hearted.
