Ziza

Person Name

Name meaning: "same as Zina"

Ziza (meaning: same as Zina — splendour; abundance) is the name of two men in Chronicles. (1.) A prince of the tribe of Simeon who led an expansion into the valley of Gedor and dispossessed the Hamites there during the days of Hezekiah (1 Chr. 4:37–43). (2.) A son of Rehoboam by his favorite wife Maachah daughter of Absalom (2 Chr. 11:20). Rehoboam had eighteen wives and sixty concubines; Maachah was preeminent among them, and Ziza was one of the sons he particularly honored.

The name Ziza appears to be a variant of Zina and carries a similar meaning of brightness or abundance. The two men who bear it are separated by about two centuries and belong to entirely different tribes.
