MEANING & HISTORY
What does Zsa Zsa mean?
Zsa Zsa represents Hungarian Zsazsa, a familiar form of Zsuzsanna, the Hungarian Susanna. The older Hebrew flower-name tradition is usually glossed lily.
Actress Zsa Zsa Gabor popularized this spacing in English, but the Hungarian familiar-name formation supplies the linguistic chain. The two words should be preserved as recorded rather than silently collapsed.
