I love this name! My grandma was called Zita and it is pronounced ZEE-ta. It is so elegant, Mediterannean and exotic and one of those few names that begin with Z so it is special. I think this is the right name for anyone but seeing as my grandma was fully Italian it would suit a person with some Italian blood in them. At least it isn't too difficult for any English person to spell seeing as I have so much trouble with my name Giugliana (Joo-lee-ah-na). Cool for a name! ZITA whoo hoo lol.

It is pronounced ze-tah.
