Tzirzah is Hebrew in Origin.

Tzirzah is a modern transliteration of the Biblical Hebrew name Tirzah, using tz to represent the letter tsadi. From the Semitic root r-ts-h (ratsah, “to be pleased, find favor”), it conveys “delight,” “pleasantness,” or “favor.” In the Hebrew Bible, Tirzah appears both as one of Zelophehad’s five daughters who successfully petitioned for inheritance rights (Numbers 27) and as a Canaanite city later linked to the northern kingdom (Joshua 12; 1 Kings). The city’s beauty is praised in Song of Songs 6:4, strengthening the name’s aesthetic resonance. Early English Puritans adopted Tirzah, and it resurfaced sporadically in 19th-century revivalist naming.

Variants and spellings include Tirzah (standard English), Tirtzah or Tirtsa (scholarly/Israeli), Tirza (Dutch/German), and Tsirzah/Tzirza in alternative transliterations. Possible nicknames are Tiri or Tziri. Though uncommon today, Tzirzah carries a compact blend of biblical heritage and graceful meaning.
