Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Zdena je osamostatnená domácka podoba slovanského zloženého mena Zdeslava, prípadne Zdislava. Prvý člen mena sa vykladá zo staroslovanského slovesa sъděti vo význame „utvoriť, vykonať“ a druhý člen tvorí slava – „sláva“. Tradičné spájanie so Sidóniou je druhotné a etymologicky nesúvisiace.
