Meaning of Zusha

Zusha is a distinctive male name of Yiddish origin, primarily found within Jewish communities. Pronounced ZOO-shah, this name carries with it a sense of cultural richness and historical depth. Zusha is often associated with Rabbi Zusha of Hanipol, an 18th-century Hasidic master known for his humility and piety, making the name resonate with spiritual significance. The variant form Zisha shares similar roots and associations.
