Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Zina je osamostatnená domácka podoba mena Zinaida, rozšírená najmä vo východoslovanskom prostredí. Meno Zinaida sa spája so starogréckym menom Zēnaïs (Ζηναΐς), odvodeným od mena boha Dia, ktorého genitív znel Zēnós (Ζηνός). Význam mena sa preto vykladá ako „patriaca Diovi“ alebo „zasvätená Diovi“.
