How Do you Pronounce the Name "Ziba"?

[Pete Vecchi]

I've been pronouncing it ZEE-bah.

Does anyone know if this is the "proper" pronunciation or if there is another way to pronounce it that is more proper?

[Jon Twitchell]

There is a character on the TV Series NCIS whose name is "Ziva." They pronounce it Zee-vah.

[Sue Pyles]

I have no idea what it is. I suppose you can break it down into syllables such

Zi-ba with the i being long such as Zeye - ba

What is it derived from or used as?

[Ryan Scott]

I've heard Oliver Phillips preach about Ziba two or three times - he always says Zee-ba.

[Loretta Neureiter]

Our Pastor was talking about Ziba tonight and pronounced it Zee-ba

[Gina Stevenson]

I'd say you were pronouncing it correctly, Pete.

By the way...

I always tell my scripture readers about "Jon's surefire guide to scripture name pronunciation... make your best guess and sound completely confident while saying it. Everyone will assume that you have a PHD in Biblical languages."
