History & Origin

Ziza is an old biblical Hebrew name, carried in the Books of Chronicles by several minor figures and traditionally read as 'abundance' or 'brightness,' though its precise meaning is uncertain. Once a man's name in scripture, it has been revived in recent times as a crisp, cheerful girls' name, helped by its bright, doubled-z sound. Its heritage is genuinely ancient even where its use is new.
