ZamZam is the name of the holy well that provides water to pilgrims on the Hajj in Mecca, originally said to have been discovered by Hagar when she was saving the life of her son Ishmael, and is therefore a name of great religious significance to Muslims:

You know, if you would bother to do some research, you will usually find that parents who give names you dislike were thinking just as much as you do.
