Hello Faiza,

Zidane is rather a Last Name in Algeria I believe it's typical to Algeria as I never heard of this name somewhere else Take care.

I dont think its typical Algerian. There is an Egyptian soccer player named Zidan (same word). It has a meaning which i dont know at the moment.

This can be an interpretation:
Zidane comes from Zaydane which comes from the verb: "Zada" in arabic means "to add".
In arabic to form an adjective you can add "..ane" to some verbs such as:
Rahama is a verb, Rahmane is the adjective.
Kassala is a verb, Kasslane is the adjective.

so : Zada (means add) is the verb, "Zaydane" or "Zidane" is the adjective (meaning adding).

Which implies that "Zidane" means "adding"

His first name is" Zineddine" which means in arabic: "the beauty of the religion".

Hope it helps

P.S A lot of Algerian last names have no meaning just like the western ones , but all the first names have a clear meaning.

Sahhit Herr Mean, Thanks for the feedback
you're absolutely right, I agree with you that there are some pure Algerian names without meaning:
Tasa3ditt, Khaddoudja, Dja3far, Houari..
But I meant that most of the first names have meanings.
Tell me what are your two first names and I would reveal their meanings

PS: Houari it could have meaning because our former president was named Houari Boumediene. Maybe your parents named you after him
