"ZVera" would make a great name for a product line or website. The root word "Vera" is a girl's name, from a Russian word meaning "faith."

On its own, "Zvera" could be a variant of "Vera."

One caveat: there is a yearly festival in Latvia called "Zvera Fest," so if you plan to use this name for a festival (especially in Europe), you might want to consult with a trademark attorney before purchasing this name. The domain names Zvera.lv and Zverafest.lv (.lv being the country code for Latvia) are registered but (as of August 26, 2013) inactive. It is unknown if the domain owners are connected with the festival.

The festival organizers seem to be using social media (Facebook and Twitter) to promote the annual festival, but the Facebook and Twitter sites we found were outdated.

Also, "zVera" is not quite a radio-friendly term; the announcer would have to pronounce the "Z" in a distinct manner: "Z-ver-a-dot-com." In essence, this is primarily a visual term: internet, TV, and print media.

Despite the festival connection, "Zvera" and its variants do not appear on the USPTO.gov data base, which suggests that the festival is limited to a specific region.
