A:

Muhammed Zaid - Muhammed means the praise worthy. This is the Mubaarak name of Hazrat Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) and Zaid means increase. This is the name of a Sahabi of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam).

Esa - The name of Nabi Esa (Alayhis Salaam). This is not an Arabic name, thus we are unable to obtain its exact meaning.

Hamdaan - This is the name of a Yemeni Arab tribe.

Leyyah - This was the name of mother of the ten brothers of Hazrat Yusuf (Alayhis Salaam)

Zeenah - means beautiful

And Allah Ta'ala knows best.
